Problem fixing grub

[Barry Pohlman]

Not sure what is actually causing your problem so these suggestions
could be way off base. Just observations on the information your provided.

Did you run grub as super-user(root)?
	To do this you would type 'sudo grub'

Did you use the root command in grub?
	The command list I usually run is
	find /grub/boot/stage1
	root = <Results from above command>
	setup (hd0)



Other observations about this. It is failing on the step where it is
looking for menu.lst. That file contains the information that grub
references to boot. That file is a pain to recreate by hand. You might
want to try and boot into the live cd setup, mount the partition and see
if that file is actually there where you think it is.

Don't get me wrong; all is not lost if that is missing. You can make a
new one. For more information on how to do that just repost to the list
and I will try to help as soon as I can.

Good Luck
