Can you expand on "won't mount"? Does the system boot and you just can't |
| 7 |
access /boot, or is the system hanging during boot complaining if can't |
| 8 |
find something? |

The boot flag isn't really used by grub. It's more for WinDos type boot |
| 11 |
loaders. When you setup grub, (grub-install or grub> setup (hd0) ) the |
| 12 |
required information is written to the boot sector so grub knows where |
| 13 |
to find the files to continue booting. |

If you have changed the partition layout (moved /boot from hda0 to hda1 |
| 16 |
or something like that) or you have removed the boot symlink in /boot, |
| 17 |
you have to ru-run grub-install or setup for these changes to take |
| 18 |
effect. |

It sounds like grub in loading properly, but you may just have a |
| 21 |
configuration error in your /boot/grub/grub.conf (aka menu.lst). Do you |
| 22 |
change anything about to kernel command with the grub command line to |
| 23 |
get the system to boot? |
