So you can boot from a floppy and all works well, but when you boot with grub on mbr of /dev/hda it fails? (yea, I missed that) Based on that, your grub.conf must be working correctly, so, try this: -boot with the RH install cd (at prompt "linux rescue" -follow the prompts and allow it to mount your existing system (/mnt/sysimage) -chroot /mnt/sysimage -grub-install /dev/hda -exit That will put a fresh grub instance on the mbr that will reference your existing /boot -- Pete Nesbitt, rhce -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
