That's just it - the grub prompt never appears nor does anything else
but a blank screen before a reboot. The way I got into grub
interactivly was to enter rescue mode by using the installation DVD
and then type grub at the shell prompt.
# grub
grub> root (hd0,0)
Filesystem type unknown, partition type 0x7
Is it possible that grub got installed in the wrong place? How can I
find out where grub is installed?
Thanks,
Steve
In means to me that your hd0 disk partition 1 is either not there or not
formatted.
Try fdisk /de/hda and see what it tells you.
