After I did the install cmd that you talked about a few lines messages
ago I never ran the setup (hd0,0) cmd so I decided to try it...
Heres what I got:
grub> setup (hd0,0)
Checking if "/boot/grub/stage1" exists... no
Checking if "/grub/stage1" exists... yes
Checking if "/grub/stage2" exists... yes
Checking if "/grub/e2fs_stage1_5" exists... yes
Running "embed /grub/e2fs_stage1_5 (hd0,0)"... failed (this is not fatal)
Running "embed /grub/e2fs_stage1_5 (hd0,0)"... failed (this is not fatal)
Running "install /grub/stage1 (hd0,0) /grub/stage2 p /grub/grub.conf "... succ
eeded
Done.
I am not sure if the failed stuff has anything to do with why its not
booting up but maybe it does, just an idea... I don't really know this
stuff too well as you can see...
Thanks so much for your help so far!
