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
Well I'm now getting "grub rescue>" when I boot, which reports "error: file not found" at the first command, above. I'll do a bit research on "grub rescue" to see if that leads to anything, otherwise I'll re-try the previous process that you described for me, including purging grub packages, and see if that gets me to the "grub>" prompt, or (faint hope) better. Thanks for taking the time to help with this. Cheers, -- Regards, Terry Duell
