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.
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.
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).
