I have'nt seen something like that happen before. You said grub could not identify fs on /dev/sda1/3. Can you post the out put or check it like this: grub <I'm assuming sda1 is /boot> find (hd0,0)/kern<tab> if you have something at /boot/kern* pressing TAB like shown above will complete the name and show that grub sees that partition. You could try (hd0,2)/<something you know is there> Like: find (hd0,2)/bin/at<tab> Should complete to attr if grub sees the partition. You might get some kind of error too but check if the file name completed. If that stuff works, I'd try re-installing grub in the mbr of the /boot partition /sda1. In grub terms thats (hd0,0) So it would be: grub root (hd0,0) setup (hd0,0) <grub outputs several lines of response> quit Then reboot it and see what happens.
