In the kernel line of menu.lst (or at the grub command prompt), /<something> means something in the root directory of the filesystem, not in /boot. If you want the latter, specify it either as /boot/<something> or as (hd0,0)/<something>. Since I can't see your system I've given up on figuring out what's wrong here. Perhaps one way to fix it would be to purge and reinstall grub: dpkg -P grub <delete any remnants of grub you find in the filesystem> apt-get install grub grub-install /dev/hda update-grub <edit menu.lst> update-grub I've resorted to that in the past when I couldn't get grub to work. I had a different problem that I never did figure out, but I finally fixed. Kevin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
