I see two other ways to make this easy, both of which have worked for me in the past :
1) use grub rescue cd (which you can put on a USB stick). Then fairly easy to sort out by picking the right menu options. 2) use these incantations, lifted from a post elsewhere : mkdir /sysroot mount /dev/your-root-dev /sysroot mount /dev/your-boot-dev /sysroot/boot mount --bind /dev /sysroot/dev mount --bind /sys /sysroot/sys mount --bind /proc /sysroot/proc mount --bind /run /sysroot/run (recommended if you are using systemd) chroot /sysroot grub-install /dev/your-grub-boot-device (may be grub2-install on some distro) _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
