UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers

Hi Guys.

I moved my root partition, deleted the old one and set GRUB up using Yast.
It all booted OK when I tested it but the second reboot has just brought me straight onto a GRUB promt

GRUB > _

Any help much appreciated. I don't know anything about GRUB and the stuff I find on google is too adanced for this.

All I need to do is to boot (hd0,0) [which is actually /dev/hdc1 in fstab]

I have the rescue CD and a GRUB prompt. So far I've mounted /dev/hdc1 with the rescue disk and edited /mnt/etc/grub.conf to replace (hd0,5) with (hd0,0).

I then tried:

GRUB > root (hd0,0)
[ yadda yadda resierfs , basically no errors here ]
GRUB > kernel (hd0,0)/boot/vmlinuz
[ yadda no errors here ]
GRUB > setup (hd0)
[Checking for /boot/grub/stage1..... yes
etc etc

]

But it keeps telloing me things like (hd0,5)/boot/menu does not exist.

It's the old GRUB basically (when I had the OS on hd0,5)

Any guidance much appreciated. If I can get into Linux successfully I can use yast to set GRUB up again.

Note: I know why it's happened now... I reconfigured GRUB whilst in the OS running on hd0,5 rather than hd0,0.

Thanks

Ermmm... sorry, this is the second time I've answered my own post today :P

If you get past the errors, then you get to a low graphics menu.

From there you can edit the GRUB commands directly and boot up.

*cough*

Carry on
