Hi All, I have a machine which has been happily running 10.2 since it came out, and earlier versions before that. Just this week is has stopped booting. It gets as far as writing GRUB on the screen then apparently locks up, pressing NumLock doesn't toggle the LED etc.
It boots just fine off the 10.2 install CD and from that I can get into rescue mode, mount the root filesystem (hda2) on /mnt, chroot to that, then run grub-install '(hd0)' which says it has succeeeded, the device map looks OK etc. etc. However, on rebooting it still gets stuck at "GRUB". I've tried booting off the 10.2 CD into install mode then choosing "repair installed system". Neither the "Full Automatic Repair" nor "expert mode / reinstall bootloader" options have helped. They do confirm that the machine is basically fine other than boting. Repair reports that all filesystems are sound, all necessary packages are present and correct and indeed, booting into rescue mode I can have a look around and see everything apparently as it should be. Any suggestions should be welcomed. Many thanks, Chris R. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
