Hi all, I have a NC10 netbook running FC12 that stopped booting correctly after a grub update. On system startup it drops to the grub> prompt. At this prompt, simply typing configfile /grub/grub.conf causes it to bring up the menu correctly and everything continues normally from there.

Actually, grub stage1 is in your MBR. for removing grub from MBR, use if=/dev/zero instead of /dev/null. i think, you should try what Kazim is suggesting. On 9/30/07, Puneet Lakhina <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > What I intend to do is install GRUB on my external HDD and remove it from > the in

your stage1 of the GRUB is installed in MBR, while stage2 is in external USB HDD. so, without the external USB HDD plugged in GRUB won't be able to get into its stage2 (which does the majority of GRUB's magic). **installing GRUB on the external disk would still give you no solutions !! On 9/30/07
