If
I *only* to the insmod linux thing, The error I'll get is "You need to
load the kernel first" (or something like that), then I remove the
search line and the system boots. (Removing the search line without
insmod linux gives "initrd command not found").<br>
<br>I tried the echo $root thing and GRUB complained about syntax errors, but; Yesterday I ran "grub-install" as you suggested and after removing the echo $root the system booted normally.<br><br>So it seems that the problem is between the grub.cfg that the latest version created which seems to have some incompatibility with the previous grub?<br>
<br>Anyway, today the laptop booted normally.. We'll see tomorrow :)<br><br>Thanks for the help!<br><div class="gmail_quote">Marc<br></div>-- <br><a href="http://www.marcfargas.com">http://www.marcfargas.com</a> - will be finished someday.<br>
