I have a machine with a bios redirected serial port and after updating grub it now won't boot. The server runs the backups so it's important but users will still be able to do their jobs tomorrow if it's not working, but I'd still like to try and fix it remotely if I can. The serial port shows : GRUB loading. Welcome to GRUB! error: ELF header smaller than expected. Entering rescue mode... grub rescue> But it's redrawing the screen constantly so I can't enter any keystrokes. One theory I have is that in crashing, grub is just restarting itself over and over, but maybe someone else has another theory about it that might help? Thanks James
