All right, it worked! I tought you meant to say `grub-install /dev/sda7', which produces error: Installing for i386-pc platform. grub-install: warning: File system `ext2' doesn't support embedding. grub-install: warning: Embedding is not possible. GRUB can only be installed in this setup by using blocklists. However, blocklists are UNRELIABLE and their use is discouraged. grub-install: error: will not proceed with blocklists. Instead, with literally `grub-install /dev/sda', everything went fine and the system is repaired, now I can boot into it. Just one thing: now sda7 grub boot loader is installed to the master boot record. I tried instead to install back sda6 grub boot loader to the master boot record with the following: # grub grub > root (hd0,5) grub > setup (hd0) grub > quit , but then again the system `broke down' and I couldn't boot into sda7. So I rescued it again and it's ok again. But, is it possibile to get back sda6 to the mbr as it was before?
