Rashly, after today's upgrade I followed the exhortation in the grub legacy package to move to grub2. I now cannot boot at all; I just get the message "Grub" and nothing more. Looking at /boot/grub with my rescue disk I see all sorts of files Idon't recognize but no menu.lst.
grub.cfg
Is there any way to restore things? Please don't tell me I have to reinstall!
The grub 0.97 deb should still be in your cache. Boot from a rescue disk (I like ubuntu, but have recently tried and like sidux), then (I *think*) start a chroot and dpkg -i "old grub".
