That worked...but I caused another problem.
I still didn't like Mepis, so I booted into Debian Sid and forgetting
Grub had been last installed by Mepis, formatted the partition. Well you
know what happened. Next time I booted I ended up at the Grub rescue
prompt! No problem I thought, I'll just load up my SystemRescue CD and
fix it. No way! I mounted sda2, and tried to ChRoot into it. I
couldn't...I kept getting an error message "unable to run /bin/zsh" To
make a very long story short, I tried several other live cd's but none
were of any help, until I got to the Ubuntu LXDE live install. I picked
the rescue mode, told it to install grub on /dev/sda2 and it did. An
update Grub fixed the cfg file and we're back in business. I still don't
understand why SystemRescue could not allow me to chroot ??
You don't have sysrescuecd default shell (zsh) installed on the target
system. When chrooting you need to call /bin/bash or dash or whatever
shell is installed on the target system.
HIH
Well that makes sense, but it's strange that the default shell on the
system would be ZSH. Wouldn't it make more sense for it to be BASH or
even DASH ? Anyway. now I know :)
