This was exactly it. Thank you! There was a /boot/boot/grub dir, but no /boot/boot/grub/menu.lst. Running "grub-install --root-directory=/ /dev/sda" fixed it. The strange part is that the documentation specifically says "grub-install - --root-directory=/boot /dev/sda" is an example of how to do the installation when your boot partition is separate from the root partition. Oh well, it works now. And I learned how to use the grub shell in the process. :-) Thanks for your help, Jacob -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (GNU/Linux) iD4DBQFE51cykpJ43hY3cTURAg0dAJimM5MRlNEOzhSwWCj/u3ckULA8AKC0qAR8 X3iKgn8iiIt6I1JPKXsCPA== =2vcD -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
