G'day all,



I'm in urgent need of
some help with grub 1.97 (Ubuntu Karmic Netbook Remix).  I've just
finished resizing my Remix partition using GParted and the PartedMagic
CD.  My only way in at the mo is using a separate boot disk - in this
case Super Grub Disk 2.



On a root console if I
type grub I'm told that grub isn't installed.  So, as per the onscreen
instruction I type apt-get install grub and it does this without
hesitation or error.  Still grub fails at boot time with this error
message
    GRUB loading.
    error: file not
found


    grub rescue>_



The last line is a
prompt.  At this stage I'm at a complete loss, not being a command line
jockey in any way at all.  I had it in mind that grub 2 looked at the
partitions at boot time and dynamically created its boot menu on the
fly.  I did had EasyPeasy in sda6 and remix in sda7, with a windows
partition in sda1.  I removed EasyPeasy and stretched Remix to fill the
void, and I see that remix is now in sda6.  I figure that's the problem
but with grub2 I'm at a loss to fix it.



All help gratefully
accepted,
Tia,
Kev
