Here are my /etc/fstab and /boot/grub/grub.cfg Hope is OK to attach them to email.
about the only thing left that i can think of to try is to type in (a simplified version of) one of the boot menu items at the grub prompt. insmod gzio insmod part_msdos insmod ext2 set root='(hd0,msdos1)' search --no-floppy --file --set=root /dev/sda1 linux /boot/vmlinuz-3.10-2-amd64 root=/dev/sda1 ro quiet initrd /boot/initrd.img-3.10-2-amd64 if that works, it should get your system booted up - but not fixed. before rebooting again, you should get to a root shell, check that /etc/default/grub is OK, and either run grub-install or update-grub again. it sounds, though, as if there's a bug in the particular version of grub you're running....it doesn't seem to know where to find its configuration (grub.cfg), so re-installing or update-grub may not fix the problem, and you won't know until you try to reboot again. you may have to wait until LMDE releases an updated grub package. or revert to the previous version of grub2 if you still have it available. craig -- craig sanders <cas@taz.net.au>
