When you've got the system up with the rescue cd, what disks can your
see... if you can see /dev/hdb,
can you publish the output from 'fdisk -l /dev/hdb'
If you've recently preformed an upgrade, then you may need to look
for /dev/sdb, not hdb.
Just a thought (:

After making some edits to my partition scheme with the latest edition
of GParted I've found that my machine
can no longer boot.
It gets as far as displaying the word GRUB but no further.
I've tried reinstalling Grub with system-rescuecd but that isn't
working either.
If I type grub-install hd0,0 --root-directory=/mnt/hdb1 I get:
/dev/hdb1 does not have any corresponding BIOS drive
Using grub-install hd0,0 --root-directory=/mnt/hdb1/boot instead is
enough to make it probe BIOS drives properly but I get the error:
The file /mnt/hdb1/boot/boot/grub/stage1 was not read correctly
Does someone know how to fix such problems? Or at least point me
towards some
docs that I can use to figure this out?
