That is, I'm still not sure exactly what fixed the problem (Lenovo bios couldn't find OS after rebuild of /boot partition), but it was some combination of:
rebuilding the /boot partition several ways booting off the hard drive from the systemrescuecd running grub-install on both /dev/sda and /dev/sdb So whoever suggested systemrescuecd is the hero of the week. Sorry for not replying to the original thread, or knowing the name of my hero. I was running email via imap from my laptop while the desktop was out of commission, and now fetchmail on the desktop isn't downloading the mail that I actually read on the laptop. It would be really nice to have a gnus setup that used imap and left the mail on the server, but did the nice splitting and spam checking that I have now with fetchmail/pop/spamassassin/gnus. But I have to use my computer to get work done this week. -- Laura (mailto:lcon...@laymusic.org) <https://plus.google.com/u/0/116029698292079786511> (617) 661-8097 233 Broadway, Cambridge, MA 02139 <http://www.laymusic.org/> <http://www.serpentpublications.org> forsan et haec olim meminisse iuvabit.
