Hello I can confirm that I have /boot/grub/stage2 on a non-booting laptop.
With system-rescuecd, I've moved stage2 in stage2.bak, but this is not enough to fix the problem. For other googlers, here's how I fixed my laptop: - boot systemrescuecd - mount -t ext3 /dev/sda2 /mnt/custom/dev - mount --bind /proc /mnt/custom/proc - mount --bind /dev/ /mnt/custom/dev - chroot /mnt/custom bin/bash - grub-install /dev/sda After that, my laptop rebooted without problem. Of course, you'll have to use the correct device file for your system (i.e. replace /dev/sda2 with the device contains your root partition). Hope this helps Dominique -- http://config-model.wiki.sourceforge.net/ -o- http://search.cpan.org/~ddumont/ http://www.ohloh.net/accounts/ddumont -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
