Which disk and partition is grub installed to ?

Can you boot the cd to get into rescue mode ?
What partitions are where {fdisk -l} ?

DaveT.

It will take me a bit longer to answer the questions on grub but I can
use the Negus F7 Live cd that I used to cut and paste the outputs above
between the 2 computers via floppy.

Thanks again for your reply Dave. I hope these details provide
interpretable clues to the problem.

One point, the computer rebooted 2x from disk without problem before the
updates.

I can mount the NTFS drive and I can mount sdb2 if I don't specify the
filesystem type. That's where Grub is in a folder with the 2 kernel
config, initrd, systme.map and vmlinuz files. I haven't figured out how
to mount the sdb1 partition and the sdb3 LVM partition claims to be
mounted already although I don't know where to look for it. Maybe it
will mount if I try a link.

Perhaps the volume is a RAID/LDM but it wasn't setup yet, or the
wrong device was used, or the partition table is incorrect.
Failed to startup volume: Invalid argument
Failed to mount '/dev/sdb1': Invalid argument
The device '/dev/sdb1' doesn't have a valid NTFS.
Maybe you selected the wrong device? Or the whole disk instead of a
partition (e.g. /dev/hda, not /dev/hda1)? Or the other way around?

Here's grub

I wonder if it's worth all this work. I could just reinstall from the
Negus Fedora 7 dvd although would I not find myself in the same place
again after an update? What could be the source of the problem? I used
the disk check option when I partitioned.
