Today I decided to install all the latest updates (including the
-06 kernel). The "yum update" seems to have run just fine (no
errors), but when I rebooted the system it just sits there with
the word "GRUB" in the upper left hand corner. I booted from the
CentOS 4.5 install CD into rescue mode, did a "chroot /mnt/
sysimage" and reinstalled grub and the latest kernel, but it
still gets stuck in the same place. It's not that I can't boot
the new kernel; I can't even get to the grub screen!
I'll answer my own question. In addition to re-installing grub, a
"grub-install /dev/sda" was required to get the system to boot. I
thought that reinstalling grub via yum/rpm would take care of it,
but apparently it didn't. Lesson learned, panic averted.
Alfred
That is what most of us probably thought you meant when you said
you re-installed grub.
Out of interest, is this something that is always required when
upgrading Grub?
i.e. should one always manually run "grub-install" /dev/XXX" after
doing so?
Cheers,
Michael
