My question is; is there any recovery option other than a re-install? I
have several live CDs and Knoppix comes up fine, although grml doesn't.
I think the directions here should work:

They did. Many thanks for refreshing my ageing memory:-) GRUB actually
provided a single user option at start-up which I had failed to process.
It's odd that the installation completed successfully, except for
preserving the root and user details and leaving Ethernet in an odd
state. Ethernet comes up at 100 Mbps in single user, but only 10 Mbps in
user mode in Gnome. It's hardly a major problem, as my broadband
connection is still only 2 Mbps and that is the main use I have for the LAN.
The really pleasant surprise was to find OpenOffice.org is at 2.0.4 -
before the release notification had even reached my inbox! Ditto with
Firefox at 1.5.0.7. Maybe I really can ditch Windows at last:-)
