I don't have that file, but I'm reasonably sure it existed under Grub 1. Perhaps you are running grub-install from Grub legacy (i.e., Grub 1) whereas you're trying to install Grub 2. This could in fact be your problem if Grub 2 didn't get installed to the boot sector of the drive as it should have been. Make sure you're running grub-install from Grub 2.0. If you invoke it from within the chroot environment, you'll need to have bind mounted /dev into the chroot (you've already quoted instructions for doing that). Otherwise, if you're running grub-install from the "live CD", be sure it's the correct version, and you'll probably have to specify the location of the boot directory with the --boot-directory option, e.g., grub-install --boot-directory=/mnt/boot /dev/sda I hope this is helpful. Just don't mix Grub 1 and Grub 2. _______________________________________________ luv-main mailing list [email protected] http://lists.luv.asn.au/listinfo/luv-main
