How to REINSTALL GRUB with LiveCD F10

[megerdin]

@stoat

I think this should be altered to ..

mkdir -p /mnt/temp/boot
mount /dev/sda5 /mnt/temp/boot
mount /dev/sda6 /mnt/temp
grub-install --root-directory=/mnt/temp /dev/sda

to

mkdir -p /mnt/temp/boot
mount /dev/sda6 /mnt/temp
mount /dev/sda5 /mnt/temp/boot

grub-install --root-directory=/mnt/temp /dev/sda

And

mkdir -p /mnt/temp/boot
vgchange -a y
vgscan
lvdisplay
mount /dev/sda5 /mnt/temp/boot
mount /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 /mnt/temp
grub-install --root-directory=/mnt/temp /dev/sda

to

mkdir -p /mnt/temp/boot
vgchange -a y
vgscan
lvdisplay
mount /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 /mnt/temp
mount /dev/sda5 /mnt/temp/boot

grub-install --root-directory=/mnt/temp /dev/sda

Thanks anyway.

Hello megerdin,

That right there makes me think it did not work for you as originally published. If so, I regret that. But here's the thing. I never publish involved stepwise stuff like that without thoroughly testing it myself. And I did that here. It all worked. Your suggestion reverses the order in which the logical volume and the boot partition are mounted. I'm not going to do any more testing of this, but in my imagination I can't see how that makes any difference. But do whatever works.

Just to add to my subscriptions. Thanks stoat.
