I have switched the boot manager from LILO to grub, I have purged the lilo package and installed the grub package. Moreover I have run the command
grub-install /dev/cciss/c0d0p1
I know I was wrong, and actually the machine no longer boots. When I try to boot from the disk I see an error like this:
L 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 ...
I have managed to boot from SysRescCd because the installation cd doesn't recognize the disk, mounted the root partition in a directory /mydir, it contains the boot directory too. Then I have run
grub-install --root-directory=/mydir /dev/cciss/c0d0
to install in the MBR. Seems that grub gets installed but the machine still doesn't boot from disk, I get the same error as before. Any help please?
