Did I misunderstand your mail? You only get a bootprompt but no menu, right? In that case you need to put your menu.lst back in /boot/grub.

IIRC you need an initrd for booting redhat. -- Marco _______________________________________________ Bug-grub mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-grub
