@synthgal Sorry, that's probably GPT rather than MBR these days

You want the bootloader on the drive you're using rather than in a partition is the long and short of it

@synthgal yeah, /dev/sda rather than /dev/sdaX

You want it in the master boot record of the disk you're booting from

@synthgal cool, if you try /sbin/grub-install /dev/[whatev] again it should hopefully find that file

@synthgal okay, cool, so you're chrooted in to your centos install? If you're not, then do so

then you'll want to do "/sbin/grub-install /dev/[your hard disk]", your hard disk will be in the form of hda or sda or something similar

After that check that there isn't anything obviously wrong in the /boot/grub/grub.conf file and reboot, that should fix it

@synthgal hang on, rescue mode? I thought you were just doing a reinstall

Okay that changes things substantially, sorry, should have realised that was what was going on

What's the current situation when you boot?

@squirrel we'd give more but mastodon wouldn't fit the required length of AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

@squirrel @turbodragon not that surprised that it did, concentrating that much awesome in such a small space would have taken its toll on anyone

@candle I've certainly been... GENDERWRECKED

A NEW GAME BY @HTHR@cybre.space and @VOID

@synthgal hm, you can probably ignore those, grub only looks for files with a number in front of them IIRC

Probably best to keep to the guide, the one who wrote that knows more than I do about it

@synthgal looks fine to me assuming you're using redhat or equivalent

@squirrel marauding maplebots shall seek out our enemies and hug them until they're not our enemies any more

food, capitalism 

@chosafine@instance.business on the other hand it can be made into cheese, which is awesome
