I have been assigned a work to fix the grub issue.I can see only

Code:

grub>

being displayed.I dont know anything about the machine except that It is RHEL MAchine.
How Can I bring this machine back to the healthy condition.

Also, Do tel me steps to work with RescueDISK if any.

I tried providing :

grub > root (hd0,0)
grub > root(hd0,1)

......

and everything but it dint show any reponse positively.
All it says that partition not found.

Why so?Is the complete Linux Screwed Up?

How can I login into the machine just through grub?any idea?

You can try to re-install the grub boot loader and here is a good site; http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/grub.html ,and look here too for help; http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...hooter-237511/ ,and here is a handy CD; http://www.osdisc.com/cgi-bin/view.c...systemrescuecd

start the linux with a rescue cd then type the following to install the grub.

/sbin/grub-install /dev/hda

One thing to ask you people.
Generally I read the Doc saying :
1. Insert the CD-1
2. type : linux rescue
3. Select appropriate Keyboard and other stuffs
4. And Then Comes a major confusion.

Code:

Please Click Continue and /mnt/sysimage will be the mount point for your system or select skip to not perform the step.(Not exact wordings)

Code:

|continue|

Code:

 |Skip|

And Say if I click Continue it should show me /mnt/sysimage.right? Buj its surprisingly not Displaying me any partitions.

please suggest me the appropriate steps to fix the grub.

well do /mnt/sysimage/

then type the command

df

don't you see your partitions.

thanks
