So followed that prescription but mounted /dev/sda1. Running SystemRescue and gparted shows two partitions and swap. If I remember correctly sda1 is system and sda2 is extended, with sda5, which is my user space.
A reboot (using any of the grub menu items) still results in "error: no such partition". So, it would seem that I am not tacking this correctly.
Anyone have any other suggestions as what I can try?
You might need to re-install Grub. Before doing that, however, have a look at the configuration file (/boot/grub/grub.cfg) just in case there are obvious issues, e.g., not loading the correct modules or not referring to the right partitions.
I had a look at the grub.cfg and it looked OK, but I don't have any experience in this. I tried to re-install grub... grub-install /dev/sda which gave the response that /boot/grub/stage1 file not read correctly. If I look at /etc/fstab and /etc/mtab I note there is no /boot, but I really don't know if that matters. What info do I need to get that will give (someone who knows about this stuff) a clear picture of what has to be done to fix this ? Cheers, -- Regards, Terry Duell
