No grub-entry after upgrading from Celena

[finndus]

I know, Clem warned to do this, but i did it...

Now the System won't boot because the only entry shown while booting is the 'memory check'-entry in grub's menu. Grub works, but without a boot-entry...no way.

Can somebody please show me how the entry has to look like? Or is there another way to get the necessary entry back?

Thanks a lot,

finndus

Use the Mint Live CD and see from there (/media/boot/grub/menu.lst) how your menu.lst should look like...
Anyway I think it's something like this:

# For Linux
title Linux Mint, kernel 2.6.22-14-generic
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.22-14-generic root=/dev/sda1 ro quiet splash
initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.22-14-generic
boot

# For Windows
title Microsoft Windows XP Professional
root (hd0,1)
savedefault
chainloader +1

You could have to change sda1 or hd0...It depends on how is your partiton table

You could try RESTORE GRUB (use your HD and partition numbers)

1. Pop in the Live CD, boot from it until you reach the desktop.
2. Open a terminal window
3. Type "grub"
4. Type "root (hd0,6)", or whatever your harddisk + boot partition numbers are (my /boot is at /dev/sda7, which translates to hd0,6 for grub).
5. Type "setup (hd0)", or whatever your harddisk number is.
6. Quit grub by typing "quit".
7. Reboot

or download the SuperGrub Live CD:

I hope one of these can get you out of your problem.
