hello all,
i'm having some problems with a server here at work. we tried to reboot the machine last night, but upon boot grub hangs with the words "GRUB " in the upper left hand corner of the screen.

seems to me the MBR might be corrupt or grub in general has gone bad.

what i need is how to get access to the machine and reinstall a bootloader (probably will go with LILO).

i'm a slackware user, and as this machine is running RedHat 7.2 i'm a little unfamiliar with Grub and Redhat. I created a boot.img boot disk, but that didn't give me too many options.

also, this machine is running raid, and when i tried to boot off a slackware boot disk, i typed "mount root=/dev/rd/c0d0p1" at the boot prompt, but it didn't get past the "mount....".

any suggestions? :-)

You can put the boot loader back with the cd, atleast with SuSE you can.

i tried using the redhat cd to boot, but all it did was boot into the installation loader.

i entered "linux root=/dev/rd/c0d0p1" at the boot prompt, but nothing. other variations didn't work either.
