    upgraded my F9 version and then I completely lost my server

    Hi Devils Casper, I upgraded my F9 version and then I completely lost my server.

    Instead of booting it said: GRUB Loading stage 2

    After following some posts and suggestions now when it boots it says:

    GRUB>

    I tried to follow your suggestions to linuxuser_1 doing:

    grub-install /dev/sda --recheck

    but server says --recheck is not allowed

    I have very little linux knowledge and I'd appreciate if you could pls help me here too

    grub.conf generated by anaconda

    hiddenmenu
    title Fedora (2.6.25-14.fc9.i686)
    root (hd0,0)
    kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.25-14.fc9.i686 ro root=UUID=(...)
    initrd /initrd-2.6.25-14.fc9.i686.img

    Thanks in advance,
    Lady

    Hi and Welcome !

    Execute this at GRUB> Prompt :
    Code:
    find /boot/grub/stage1
    find /grub/stage1
    Post output here.

    Boot up from LiveCD of any Linux Distro and post the output of fdisk -l command too.
    Code:
    su -
    fdisk -l
    * Its small L in fdisk -l.
    It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.
