"You likely mean "grub> " prompt. Right?" Nope....its just the word "GRUB" sitting there all by itself....its not blinking, you can't type anything, ctrl-c, nothing...it just sits there. You can see disk activity for a few seconds after it pops up then nothing. 10-4 on all of the rest you said.

Right? > I assume its toast Most likely this assumption is wrong although in an order to boot you may need to type manually commands you are normally have in grub.conf - like "root ...", "kernel ..." and "initrd ..." followed by "boot". grub normally expands what you typed, when asked, so this is not as bad as it sounds. You can start by typing "help". Once you booted you may fix grub configuration. It appears that grub got installed but it is unable to find its configuration files. > but what caused it? Good question. You should have in /root files like 'syslog' and 'anaconda.log' from your installation attempt and there could be clues there. Another option is to boot "rescue" and peek at what you saved.
