I too got a grub rescue prompt after installing Lucid today. Here is what i did. The system in which I installed Lucid was in a Computer institute. It had RHEL before. What had happened was that once someone changed the root password of RHEL system. I changed the root password by using "Single User Mode". But after that the system started giving problem and took a long time to boot. So i decided to install Lucid in it. After inserting Lucid CD for installation i found that it had windows XP too but it was not showing in grub. So i decided to keep XP and dual boot. I used "Use largest free space" option. It was installed but after reboot it gave this "grub rescue" prompt. I dint know what commands to give there. I tried some commands to see if they work like help, /h, grub, ?, etc. but not a single was a valid command.
I too want to ask if this is problem in Lucid with dual boot? What is this prompt and why it comes? BTW i installed Lucid again in it using manual partitioning option and was able to install successfully... :) -- Regards, Manohar Bhattarai (मनोहर भट्टराई) Blogs: http://manoharbhattarai.wordpress.com/ http://manoharbhattarai.posterous.com/ http://manoharbhattarai.blogspot.com/ Microblogs: Twitter :- http://twitter.com/manoharmailme Identi.ca :- http://identi.ca/manoharbhattarai -- l...@iitd - http://tinyurl.com/ycueutm
