GRUB is printed and I can't type
 

So I installed FC2 and it prints GRUB yet I can't type anything. I tryed to install it with grub-install and then it just printed GRUB like an infinite loop. I can't get to lilo something about permission denied even though I am root. I reinstalled and still have the same problem. I am not dual booting although I do have 2 hd's. Both of which should be clean. I NEED HELP BECAUSE I NEED A LINUX MACHINE FOR CLASS

hi

pl. specify
where do have linux installed and and ur grub.conf
also output of "fdisk -l /dev/hda"
"fdisk -l /dev/hdb"

regards

hey, thanks for responding, I have linux installed on hda2.
fdisk -l /dev/hda
Device Boot Start End Blocks ID System
/dev/hda1 * 1 217 102501 83 Linux
/dev/hda2 218 7970 3663292+ 83 Linux
/dev/hda3 7971 8940 458325 82 Linux swap

fdisk -l /dev/hdb
/dev/hdb1 * 1 8894 4202383 83 Linux

I am not sure where grub.conf is

hi there

do one thing

remove one harddisk physically(remove its powrer cord)(remove first hdb)
then boot from the first CD of ur linux distribution FC2
go to rescue mode

#chroot /mnt/sysimage

#grub-install /dev/hda

and then see if u can boot into linux from that
will deal with the second one later

regards

same thing happened last time I tried to do grub-install
GRUB is now printing like an infinate loop
hdb is dissconnected completely

hi

ok
do the other way now
remove ur hda
make ur hdb as primary master(hda)

go to rescue mode
install grub

see if u can boot that linux

regards

It worked, THANK YOU VERY MUCH
