Hi everyone,

Well the subject line says it all... There was an update yesterday that came in for Ubuntu Netbook Remix (9.10).  Downloaded, installed, rebooted, and now I just get dumped into Grub.  Immediately before the Grub screen comes up, it quickly flashes something that MAY be the words "Try hdd(0,0) NTFS". Then I get the sh:grub> prompt.

OK So I don't know anything about Grub or what I'm doing in it.  I've typed ls and I get:  (loop0), (hd0), and (hd0,1).  I tried boot /vmlinuz, and I get "Error: no loaded kernel";  tried linux /vmlinuz, and I get "Error: wrong magic number".  Not sure what else I should try.

Does anyone have any advice to get my netbook up and running again?  I'm back to Windows 7 Starter!  (argh, argh, argh)

Thanks in advance!

Cheers, - Eric

Hi Eric It's been ages since I last recovered a broken boot loader ... but this article http://beginlinux.com/index.php/server_training/serv_admin_m/grub is how I have done it previously. -- Regards Gregory Machin +64211844347 www.linuxpro.co.nz www.linuxpro.co.za
