Hi Gudjon, In the end I used a Kanotix-64 Live CD and ran "grub-install -recheck /dev/hda" from that. No errors were reported and the devices map was OK too. Anyhow the problem is solved now, see my previous message to the list. Thanks. Grx HdV -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
