Hi, I have hit a problem. My HP server rebooted after installing some updates and gave me a red screen Illegal OpCode error. After doing some hunting around, the best answer I found was on a thread on a mailing list that said that the error was due to the the BIOS trying to find a correct boot image and failing. I can boot the system from the OS CD (CentOS) and chroot so that my existing root system is installed. What I can't seem to do is get grub to re-install the boot loader into the MBR. In an effort to make it do so I booted the server with a MS dos floppy and did fdisk /mbr. That has remoced the red screen message but I still can't get grub to configure my MBR correctly and I am left with a missing operating system message from the server. Here's what I've tried >grub grub>device (hd0) /dev/cciss/c0d0 # Compaq device names grub>root (hd0,0) grub>setup (hd0,0) I get a number of messages Checking if /boot/stage1 exists...(no) Checking if /grub/state1 exists...(yes) Checking if /grube2fs_stage1_5 exists...(yes) Running embed /grub/e2fs_stage1_5 (hd0,0) failed (this is not fatal) Running embed /grub/e2fs_stage1_5 (hd0,0) failed (this is not fatal) Running install /grub/stage1 (hd,0) /grub/stage2 p /grub/grub.conf succeeded Done. It always reads as if it's ended successfully but nothing changes and I can't get the boot loader into the MBR. Can anyone spot where I might be going wrong? Thanx in advance, Dp. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-admin" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
