you should only need to use grub-install and update-grub (or grub-mkconfig) Running grub-setup after grub-install without matching arguments given by grub-install to grub-setup it can create non-working setup. So commands needed are: grub-install update-grub (or grub-mkconfig, or manually create grub.cfg) Now if you get stuck to rescue console you probably want to start loading normal mode first (insmod normal.mod) and required modules needed for booting. I think we should write something about rescue console to wiki. Here is what probably happened: When you issues grub-setup manually you probably forgot to specify filesystems and such so grub cannot load natively from MBR your system. As grub-setup is advanced tool it should not be used manually, please try with only grub-install and see if it help. _______________________________________________ Grub-devel mailing list Grub-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/grub-devel
