In case the partition number changed, you will have to fix it in your /boot/grub/menu.lst and /etc/fstab. Grub requires some information about your hardware before installing. This is done by mounting /proc to chroot's proc and /dev ot chroot's dev/ and additionally putting mounts infomration to /etc/mtab. Gentoo handbook has excellent information about this. Basically the steps: assuming /boot is on sda1, / on sda2 # boot live system mkdir /mnt/sys mount /dev/sda2 /mnt/sys cd /mnt/sys mount /dev/sda1 boot/ mount -t proc none proc/ # proc information for your chroot mount -o bind /dev dev/ # mount device info (grub fails here) chroot . /bin/bash grep -v rootfs /proc/mounts > /etc/mtab #i believe it is optional grub-install /dev/sda exit #umount here and reboot These commands come out of the head and there might be a few errors, but to give you the idea ;) Good luck -- Dmitri Bachtin -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
