Since your shell is "grub>", your kernel command is "kernel", and your partitions are numbered starting from 0, you are running grub1 not grub2. Is your / an ext4 filesystem? AFAIK, grub1 will not recognize ext4. PS: What is "dfisklu"? _______________________________________________ Help-grub mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-grub
