Hi,
I recently had Redhat 7.2 physical machine converted into VMware guest with
P2V tool vmware converter. When I boot the vm guest it drops me into <grub>
shell. In the shell if I type "configfile /grub/grub.conf" I get Kernel to
choose from and it boots normally from there.
Why does boot process drop into grub shell?
I have separate /boot parition...
df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda2 2.0G 1022M 914M 53% /
/dev/sda1 243M 13M 218M 6% /boot
none 503M 0 503M 0% /dev/shm
/dev/sda7 2.0G 65M 1.8G 4% /tmp
/dev/sda3 7.9G 929M 6.6G 13% /usr
/dev/sda5 4.0G 1.1G 2.6G 30% /usr/local
/dev/sda8 20G 7.1G 11G 38% /var
Below is my /boot/grub/grub.conf...
cat /boot/grub/grub.conf
