[Lula] Grub Error

[Steve Glasser]

Sounds like grub is no longer pointed at the correct partition.  You
can boot off the linux cd into rescue mode (or similar) and reinstall
grub.

The commands to reinstall grub will be similar to this:

# grub --no-floppy
grub> find /boot/grub/stage1
 (hd0,0)

grub> root (hd0,0)
grub> setup (hd0)
grub> quit

Then you will have to edit the grub config file, either grub.conf or
menu.lst.  It will look something like this:

timeout 5
default 0
title my Linux box
root (hd0,0)
kernel /bzImage ro root=/dev/sda2 (or wherever / is)

Cheers,
