Burn a Fedora 9 DVD ISO and boot into recovery mode.</p><p>When you get to a shell, type:</p><p>grub</p><p>Depending on where your boot partition resides, you will need to specify the corresponding device. For example, my boot partition resides on /dev/sda1, so I would type:</p><p>root (hd0,0)</p><p>If my boot partition happened to live on partition number 6, then it would be (hd0,5), etc.</p><p>Then type:</p><p>setup (hd0)</p><p>Type quit and then exit to reboot.

I didn't lose my Fedora 8 installation. Do I need to have a look at menu.lst and check/modify something there? (It looks like a classic case of it not finding the kernel at boot.)</p><p>Don</p>DonSat, 14 Jun 2008 06:35:51 -0000
