Do you have /usr on a seperate partition? you need to mount your partitions (especially probably /usr, /boot etc) within the chroot before stuff works correctly. I would do it from outside the chroot before chrooting in to the environment. for example, in my setup I would mount /dev/hda2 /mnt mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/boot mount /dev/hdb3 /mnt/usr ... chroot /mnt your setup will obviously be different. > > GNU GRUB version 0.95 (640K lower / 3072K upper memory) > > [ Minimal BASH-like line editing is supported.

Or you could manualy insmod or modprobe the modules required to see your hard disk. A
