1. Boot with RedHat in rescue mode or knoppix or a boot disk or whatever
until you can get to a login shell.
2. Login as root and then follow these steps:
a. mkdir /hd
b. mount /dev/hda1 /hd
(replace hda1 with the correct partition where linux is stored)
c. chroot /hd
( Now your root directory / corresponds to /dev/hda1 )
3. Run /sbin/grub-install /dev/hda1
Good luck. Hope it is not too complicated.
