So, I somehow managed to hose GRUB on /dev/hda1 while attempting to install it to a flash drive on /dev/sda1.
After POST, I see GRUB GRUB on the screen and it stops there. Usually, it would progress to the GRUB menu screen and I'd be on my merry way. I tried to boot from the LFS CD and redo the grub installation: $ grub grub> root (hd0,0) grub> setup (hd0) but it tells me that it cannot find a file when it is installing the stage files and /boot/grub/menu.lst. When I try: $ grub-install --no-floppy /dev/hda1 it tells me that /dev/hda1 is a read-only file system, regardless of whether or not I have it mounted. I'm lightly freaking out 'cause I've wasted almost two hours frantically trying to fix it, as my graduation project is on /dev/hdb1 (probably safe, but I'm getting itchy nonetheless. Ideas/help/anything welcome. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
