No information has been destroyed; you can recover from any suitable recovery environment, such as a Debian installation USB stick. Nothing in /boot/grub/grub.cfg is irreplaceable. In your tarball, none of the files are executable, which is one possible reason for this failure. However, you've also changed all the file names, so I can't be sure that you gave me an accurate representation of what's on your system (such an accurate representation was why I asked for a tarball - I'd hoped you'd use something simple like 'tar cf etc-grub.d.tar.gz /etc/grub.d'). Please post the output of 'ls -l /etc/grub.d/'. -- Colin Watson [cjwat...@debian.org] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
