Worst case is that you have to reinstall grub via apt/aptitude. This should not be necessary as everything in that directory can be generated by the grub utilities, including the default menu.lst (which is generated by the kernels grub finds in /boot).
Nothing can happen as long as there is a file with the same name as the directory standing in the way. >>>> What do you get when you do "ls -la /mnt/hda2/boot/grub/menu.lst"? >>> i am sure i will get an i/o error, too, as /grub is not a directory >>> anymore. >>> I will try ubuntu live disk if /grub folder is still okay. >>> >> grub-install is failing because it cannot write any files into that >> directory. /boot/grub needs to be a directory, not a file. > > yeah, i understand that ... > Then move the file /boot/grub out of the way (you don't have to delete it if that bothers you, just rename it at the very least). -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkuRpB0ACgkQwRXgH3rKGfODtgCfdq5sw/hVcgHp53mU1jp33Uex Zm4AnAhOzVy7fp5Z82bJRlEMTRxzZOXB =yBLK -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ 64studio-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.64studio.com/mailman/listinfo/64studio-users
