how do i find out the exact kernel parameters (from the grub config file) when the boot loader is corrupt. Seems like a catch 22 that I need the exact boot parameters when I cant get to a prompt to read the grub.conf file to being with.
You can simply boot up from any Linux Live CD, mount the partition containing /boot, and review/edit the file. You can also re-install the bootloader from the Live CD.
