Went through the "saved" pile and found this:

> Try 1 (should bring up the boot menu):
> grub> configfile (hd0,3)/grub/grub.conf

grub> configfile (hd0,1)/grub/grub.conf # /dev/hda2

Error 18: Selected cylinder exceeds maximum supported
by BIOS 

has this anything to do with LBA being "off" in POST
-- it *is* set to [auto] in the BIOS? BTW, HD is
listed in POST screen thus:

Pri Master: Maxtor 4R12010 RAMBIUU0 Ultra DMA Mode -6
S.M.A.R.T Capable and Status OK

> Try 2 (locate the config file, use that if found. 
> Replace X,X with the
> numbers reported by find):
> grub> find /grub/grub.conf

grub> find /grub/grub.conf
Error 15: File not found

grub> find /boot/grub/grub.conf
Ditto

> grub> kernel (hd0,1)/vmlinuz # /dev/hda2
> grub> boot

Error 18

> 
> Let me know how it goes!

Done!
