You don't really. A grub> prompt is from a partially installed grub boot
loader on the system's harddrive. It appears your machine has lost its
ability to boot from the CD drive, which paired with your install dying at
70% would indicate perhaps your CD drive has gone kaput.
No, the CDROM drive is fine; it works under windows.
Okay, I have made some progress. I was able to bootup in single
usermode from the "grub>" prompt but I can't change my root passwd.
Here is the story:
==============================================================
sh-3.1# passwd
Changing password for user root.
passwd: Authentication token manipulation error
sh-3.1#
==============================================================
I can't login as root which means I can't correct the grub installation.
PS: I passed in selinux=0 after the kernel line in grub. What else
could this be?
Thanks,
Ernest
