Hello Aaron Konstam, My PC boot manager is XOSL v.1.1.5 - http://www.xosl.org/.

After I select Redhat Linux from the XOSL menu, then computer hang-ups. Nothing happens. No error message.
Hello Gerry Tool,
I can cat /boot/grub/grub.conf as follows, via "linux rescue" booted from the shrike install disc 1. I can retrieve this file from the boot partition. The linux master boot record in the linux boot partition, (for the location of the linux partitions, please note the listing as below), is corrupted most likely. How do I restore the linux MBR from the shrike install disc 1?
# cat /boot/grub/grub.conf
