Upgraded grub to grub2 (or so I thought) in Arch. What it did was uninstall grub, and not install grub2. I had noticed it, but then forgot about it later when I went to hit up to reboot... came right back up to nothing at all loading, but a grub shell in tty. I had meant to install grub2 before I rebooted. There is literally nothing in /boot on the Arch drive... The kernel won't load (understandably), nothing. Just a grub shell.
Oh lordie...
Any clue what to do, aside from reinstall?
Thanks.

Re: Now I've done it.
I am curious, if you take a Mandriva DVD and boot from it.
There is section where you can reinstall the Bootloaded. I wonder if it will do the trick.

Re: Now I've done it.
Apparently it does have some like that.
I like better Mandriva way, is much easier
BTW, I heard bad things about GRUB2. I just stick on what works.

Re: Now I've done it.
Yeah, think I'm going to do that with Arch (although grub2 is working quite well here on Fedora). I'm going to have to reinstall. When grub uninstalled on me, it uninstalled everything, and I mean everything, so trying the cd wouldn't fly.
Oh well I guess. Off to back up and get on it. Take care.
Also, p.s., I wouldn't use a Mandriva anything to do anything with any more. Hint also, Mandriva can't boot my beloved Arch. They're two entirely different systems (and Arch is WAY better when one's not stupid with it).
R_Head and rolf: I'm going to need you guys to hold down the fort for me while I'm off with this. It appears we *may* have a spammer on the way (see new member at the bottom of the front page) - I sent them a warning last night. Thanks.

Re: Now I've done it.
I was wondering if the Bootloader fix on Mandriva will do the trick for Arch.
Just a shot in the dark.

Re: Now I've done it.
No, because they're completely different file systems. Mandriva=rpm, Arch=scripts. Mandriva's grub would be totally unrecognizable to Arch. Mandriva also only builds for themselves, unlike Arch (speaking of which, I don't call that contribution on the whole to Linux).
I'm just about done; just can't get X to start with the Nvidia 256 driver. I've left it alone for now; my neck is killing me, and my wrists. Will go back to it when I'm not sober and more relaxed. LOL. Back to Fedora 13.
Thanks for the ideas, though.

Actually this might work. rpm or not, it still is grub. It could detect the old settings and fix them.

Re: Now I've done it.
Not when everything for grub was completely gone, even from /usr/lib, and everywhere else.
But alas, now I has an X issue upon reinstallation. Still can't get in.
I will never use gtkpacman again to install a package. This is time #2 something like this has happened. I'll use it to find names of packages - that's it.

Re: Now I've done it.
I can't get X to start in Arch. It doesn't want to play nice with the Nvidia 256 driver. The others are gone... what to do? xorg.conf is correct, everythiing is. Ran nvidia-xconfig successfully, the works.
I WANT MY ARCH LINUX BACK!!! *cries*
Xorg.conf and Xorg.0.log

Re: Now I've done it.
What happens if you replace your lines in section Device with:
In stead of
Code: Select all
Section "Device"
Identifier "Device0"
Driver "nvidia"
In stead of
Code: Select all
Identifier "Card0"
Driver "vesa"
