    Red face Grub

    I am preparing for RHCE . While doing the lab I renamed /etc/grub/grub.conf as grub1.conf. Now (obviously) system boots on grub> prompt. Can I recover without using a bootable CD?

    Another problem that I encountered was, while doing lab for fdisk, I used command umount -al. Now, fdisk -l is not listing the partitions but giving a message:- /proc/partitions does not exist. If I reboot the system this is restored.

    Any solutions, please

    Well without using a rescue CD, you'd still have to feed it the necessary commands to load your kernel and such.

    Something like this I can imagine would be necessary:

    kernel /vmlinuz root=/dev/hda1
    initrd /initrd

    This will vary depending on your system. Basically you have to tell it where the root system is located, what kernel to load.
