Success!! (sort of)
I had a CentOS 4.4 installation on the same hard drive that got fux0red when I replaced the motherboard and installed Windows on the drive. I was able to find GRUB4DOS http://sourceforge.net/projects/grub4dos/ Actually all I needed was the "grldr" program. I added this to Windows BOOT.INI and it was able to pick up the grub.conf from the mangled CentOS. A little bit of editing of the GRUB configuration (e.g. use hd(0,0) instead of hd(0,1) since a hard drive's now missing) and I was able to boot into CentOS. Good thing the CentOS install had a custom 2.6.19.1 kernel.. I always recompile the kernel with no modules... so ata_piix was unable to fux0r things up this time. So I have (32-bit) CentOS 4.4, better than nothing. _________________________________________________ Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List [email protected] (#PLUG @ irc.free.net.ph) Read the Guidelines: http://linux.org.ph/lists Searchable Archives: http://archives.free.net.ph
