boot stuck on memtest

[Muzer]

Ok, I think that I'm getting somewhere. I booted from the live cd on another computer and connected my computer as a disk. I can edit the menu.lst file from there. There was only one option in the menu.lst file, not sure why:

Code: Select all

title		Linux Mint 7 Gloria, memtest86+
root		(hd0,2)
kernel	/boot/memtest86+.bin
quiet

I tried adding this:

Code: Select all

title		Linux Mint 7 Gloria
root		(hd0,2)
kernel		/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.28-11-generic root=/dev/sda3 ro quiet splash
initrd		/boot/initrd.img-2.6.28-11-generic

When I choose this option on boot I get Error 15: File not found.

Make sure all the files exist, that's all I can think

It should be there. That file is Linux itself, without it, you're not going to get anywhere :p


Are there any other files beginning with vmlinuz (or some variation on that)?




If not, you'll probably have to reinstall Mint. I have no idea how that might have happened.
