Re: Linux redhat 4 boots into grub prompt.

I could be wrong in understanding the problem but you might try
reinstalling grub on the root partition. Something like this

grub> root (hd0,0)
grub> setup (hd0)

and then repeat for the 2nd drive using hd1 of course. You need to be
sure where your root partition is however and replace it in the hd0,0
command.

Hope that helps
