I am now stuck in an unresponsive grub2: ] grub rescue > it responds to a few commands, such as 'ls' but in particular it fails on exit which is supposed to quit, instead says unknown command 'exit'. I was attempting a preupgrade from one of my two f14 installs, both of which worked, prior to this latest problem. Most of the preupgrade seemed to proceed as expected but near the end gets pushed to 'grub rescue'. One difficulty is that my f14 is installed to external usb, but my bios won't boot from usb, so the boot files have to be put somewhere on my two internal scsi disks, which works for me for f14 and f12, f11 also, ( still working, before this present problem.) This damaged grub 2 rescue appears to be only remaining small piece of f16 install: most of the f16 install was erased in my frantic attempts at getting out from this locked-in position. advice? magic solutions? Would it help to reinstall my legacy f14 grub to mbr of first internal disk? Why should this be necessary? I did not choose to install f16 bootloader to mbr. I am quite sure about this. I can view the system using an old knoppix cd. thanks for any advice Jack -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
