Your new bootloader info probably isn't being written properly to the MBR.

Make sure to run grub-install /dev/foo (where foo=hd dev node)

all,

so i've been through the complete slackware 10.2 install three times now
trying to figure out what i'm doing wrong. i thought that i was
installing LILO incorrectly but even when i tried the installation
without LILO i get the same symptom, which is:

starts boot with bios-level hardware detection, pauses at the "boot from
cd" prompt, and then proceeds to the word "GRUB" on a line by itself at
which point it's a hard freeze.

this machine had rh9 on it before with a small grub(?) partition which i
removed (during my second installation) and added to the partition from
which "/" is mounted.

google/linux gave no joy.

any ideas or suggestions?

thanks,
stan
