I had a look at the grub.cfg and it looked OK, but I don't have any experience in this. I tried to re-install grub... grub-install /dev/sda which gave the response that /boot/grub/stage1 file not read correctly. If I look at /etc/fstab and /etc/mtab I note there is no /boot, but I really don't know if that matters. What info do I need to get that will give (someone who knows about this stuff) a clear picture of what has to be done to fix this ?
