Patrick, you need this steps to boot your system : Using the GRUB2 boot prompt If improperly configured, GRUB2 may fail to load and subsequently drop to a boot prompt. To address this issue, proceed as follows: 1) Load the XFS and LVM modules insmod xfs insmod lvm 2) List the drives which GRUB2 sees: grub2> ls 3) Study the output for the partition table of the /dev/sda device. It may look similar to the following example on a dos partition table with three partitons. will look something like this: (hd0) (hd0,msdos3) (hd0,msdos2) (hd0,msdos1) or similar to this output on a gpt partition table of the /dev/sda device with four partitions. (hd0) (hd0,gpt4) (hd0,gpt3) (hd0,gpt2) (hd0,gpt1) 4) Probe each partition of the drive and locate your vmlinuz and initramfs files. ls (hd0,1)/ The outcome of the previous command will list the files on /dev/sda1. If this partition contains the /boot directory, it will show the full name of vmlinuz and initramfs. 5) Set the root partition. grub> set root=(hd0,3) 6) Set the desired kernel. grub> linux (hd0,1)/vmlinuz-3.0.0-1.fc16.i686 root=/dev/sda3 rhgb quiet selinux=0 # NOTE : add other kernel args if you have need of them # NOTE : change the numbers to match your system 7) Set the desired initrd. grub> initrd (hd0,1)/initramfs-3.0.0-1.fc16.i686.img # NOTE : change the numbers to match your system 8)Boot with the selected settings. grub> boot 9)When the system starts, open a terminal. 10)Enter the grub2-mkconfig command to re-create the grub.cfg file to enable GRUB2 to boot your system. grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg 11) Enter the grub2-install command to install GRUB2 to your hard disk to use of your config file. grub2-install --boot-directory=/boot /dev/sda # Note: your drive may have another device name. Check for it with mount command output.
