You don't do this for grub. Grub reads the kernel from the file system. It knows about ext2/ext3, xfs, etc.. From the messages, it seems that the kernel and initrd are loaded. It just doesn't boot. This can happen if the kernel image is corrupted. What I would do is remove the save default option. I would also type in the boot commands by hand on the command line. That is, root(hd1,0) kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.11-1-686 root=/dev/hdb7 single initrd /initrd.img-2.6.11-1-686 boot Maybe menu.lst got corrupted or something. What is weird is that the root seems to be /dev/hdb1, but the root partition is /dev/hdb7... I thought the days of a /boot partition were long gone. If this doesn't help, I would boot from the installation media and see if the file system is still intact. - Adam -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
