Hi My wife let her Debian machine get over 450 packages behind before I caught it. What a mess. The last problem is that when booting up the Welcome to Grub notice appears and then: error:file not found Entering rescue mode grubrescue> If I run "ls" I find that the root directory should be (hd0,msdos1) and that grub is under the /boot directory. Therefore I run: set prefix="(hd0,msdos1)/boot/grub" <enter> set root="(hd0,msdos1)" <enter> insmod normal <enter> normal <enter> and the system boots up and runs fine; until I reboot and then the mess starts all over again. How do I fix this. I suspect that I need to somehow reset the grub file but that's just a SWAG. Help!!!!! Oh yes, we are running Debian Wheezy (stable) and KDE desktop and fdisk gives the following: root@supercrunch:/media# fdisk -l Gary R. |
