If you boot from the Install (CD,DVD) you should be able to choose Rescue mode and fix things from there. This is the type of situation that could be much more easily diagnosed hands-on than trying to do it by email. carl
I remember a screen about boot loader but thought that only applied if I was going to use a dual boot, so I may have unchecked any choice. Is GRUB in the mbr? What does it do? Would removal of GRUB from the mbr help?
I should be able to reboot from the install DVD and try rescue... or reinstall. I'm confused over what the boot loader does so worry about making the wrong choice again. I want it to boot directly into Linux. Sorry about being ignorant about this. What should be selected on the screen about boot loader? Thanks.
