Hello,

I ghosted an old server using ghost

I imported that machine in a new VMWARE 5 with success, but when I am
booting the system, it doesn't work.

I get a grub> prompt, and nothinh happens.

How can I repair GRUB

PSE HELP

Boot to "linux rescue" from CD #1 and install grub.
If you don't know how to do that, Google is your friend for common
questions like installing grub.

Oliver,


grub-install /dev/hda (ide disc)

grub-install /dev/sda (scsi disc)


Best regards,

.... but not straight from the rescue boot. The mounts won't be right
immediately.

Are you using MBR or /boot to boot the system --

grub-install /dev/hda -- sets up grub in the MBR
grub-install -root-directory=/boot /dev/hda -- sets up grub in the /
boot directory

Also try,

grub>find /boot/grub/stage1

if you get a result back the rest of your stuff will be on that disk
as well, then you could run:
grub> root (hd0,1) -- assuming that's what the find command returned
above.
grub> kernel /boot/vmlinux-<kernel version>
