agnula & grub


Hello everybody!

So, I have WinXP and FC2 dual-booting on my system (two physically seperate drives) using Grub. All was well until I installed rehmudi (agnula's redhat distro) and rebooted the system.
Now all I get is the minimal grub prompt.
I've searched all over and have found this same problem in other forums, but never a solution.

Anyone know what to do to fix this? Alternativley, being fairly new to linux, anyone remember a command that will at least allow me to boot FC2? Do I need to get myself a FC2 Rescue disk?

Thank you, in advance, for any advice you can offer.

so, I managed to boot WinXP no problem:

root (hd0,0)
chainloader +1
boot

But I'm not quite sure how to load my kernel for booting FC2.

This may not solve my problem, but at least it's a step in the right direction. I suppose if I can get Fedora running, I should be able to repair grub.

Still, any help/advice/comments are welcome.

Ok, so I got FC2 running again. I popped in the rescue disk to get bash going and, after a lot of trial and error, finally just grabbed the root backup of the grub.conf file and put it over the damaged one in /boot. On rebooting, it was as if nothing had ever gone wrong. However, I am quite sure that rehmudi is not completely/properly installed.
So, if anyone has some advice concerning rehmudi/agnula it would be greatly appreciated (because I dont want to just keep having to rescue my grub.conf and never really change anything).
