What to do?
1) from the grub prompt root (hd0,7) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32-22-generic root=(/dev/sda10 initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.32-22-generic boot If you boot successfully then reboot and on the grub prompt root (hd0,7) setup (hd0) It is presumed that your /boot is /dev/sda8 and has all the kernels, initrds your distro is installed in /dev/sda10 your /boot/grub has all grub files including menu.lst -- Rgds JTD -- http://mm.glug-bom.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
