Did routine update with about 5 items, all something like "Linux headers". It requested reboot. After all I had was black screen with
Gnu Grub version 1.98-ubuntu7
grub>
I have XP on one partition and Ubuntu LL on the other. I cannot get to the boot menu.
I spent two days communing with the Grub and Grub2 manuals, exploring from the prompt.
The grub.cfg file is exactly where it should be in /boot/grub
I've gone over every line and it all looks right.
I can enter the commands in grub.cfg at the grub prompt for the appropriate linux and Windows boot sections of the boot menu it should build and display and boot into each of those systems, but still whatever should be looking for grub.cfg on boot does not, or does not find it and so it just displays the grub command line prompt.
sudo update-grub from the Gnome terminal does not change this.
Anyone have experience with this? thanks
