Re: Re: Linux should not be booting

Thanks to all who have responded. I think the problem may be related to 
an issue I had with grub in January (see 
ddd4daee1001091255n7cfa4037l1663b317fdf09def@mail.gmail.com 
<http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2010/01/msg00696.html>). 

Running "apt-get install grub", created the /boot/grub/ directory and 
the menu.lst file, (it may have overwritten /usr/lib/grub/i386-pc, as 
well) but this evidently does not overwrite the boot sector, does 
grub-install do this? I have yet to run grub-install. Of course, this 
would not explain why my system still boots after deleting the vmlinuz 
files.

The files in my /boot/ directory (before I deleted them...actually moved 
them to my home directory for safe keeping) were:

default  device.map  menu.lst  menu.lst~  menu.lst_backup

Should the grub image files be here as well? I have also tried pointing 
grub to directories where I know the kernel images are and I get an 
"Error 15".
