Re: Grub just displaying "GRUB"

that was the hint that had put me on the right track. Grub was not able
to find its files due to a wrong device.map.

In my BIOS configuration the SATA-drive is selected as first boot device
but Grub uses to start counting devices with IDE drives. So i modified
my device.map from:

> > device.map:
> >

> > (hd0)	/dev/hda
> > (hd1)	/dev/sda

to:

device.map:

(fd0)	/dev/fd0
(hd0)	/dev/sda
(hd1)	/dev/hda

And after reinstalling grub everything works fine again.

Thanks for your help,

Andre
