GRUB ...OK(not)


Hi
I was copy some files today(well 20 gigs actually) from one computer to another via nfs.

While this was going on, I switched to another shell (Alt F2) and started doing other work.
I then saw read errors spewing up on the screen of the othyer computer. To stop it, I shutdown
from the second shell - the errors stoped on the other computers screen.

The above is probabaly way too much info - as the long and short of it is I can't boot into the computer I was copying the files to (the one that did not have the errors).

All I get is grub saying: Looking for boot record on IDE-0.....OK.
Grub

I can't even use the keyboard.

Using a rescue disk I have done a file system check and it all seems ok...but I still can't boot.

Heeeeeeeelp!

Fixed.

I used the YAST fix cd. It's a magnificent piece of software. Thankyou SUSE!
