I guess you're in command line interface of Grub(key 'c'). Try pressing [Esc], that should bring the normal menu interface.

Assalm 0 alikum!!!

Its seems you have some problem with Grub.

Boot From first cd of Redhat 9

write linux rescue

then system will boot in resuce mode (rescue mode is very powerfull tool for trouble shouting of system )

When system boots in rescue mode give command

chroot /mnt/sysimage

#grub-install /dev/hda

it will reinstall your grub in mbr

It does not matter that u have made separate partation for /boot

(Its very good practice alway prefer to make separate partation for /boot about 100MB )

When u do chroot /mnt/sysimage

after that give command # df -h

then check whether is is dispalying your /boot patation or not


is so , then check /boot/grub/grub.conf is it present

when u give comand #grub-install /dev/hda

(dont mention it like /dev/hda1 you will destroy that partation in fact)


Try again to install grub then tell me what message it gives
