[SOLVED] Missing /boot/grub - grub still works?

Hey guys,

This isn't related to my other awesome thread right now - this is on a different box completely.

The only thing that has changed recently was that I just downloaded & installed the latest ck package from the repo. I rebooted and realized I forgot to modify my menu.lst to boot into the new kernel.

Upon navigating to /boot, I noticed that grub is no longer present here (however it functions correctly during boot time).

I checked within grub itself and it has no idea where it is either:

grub> find /boot/grub/stage1

Error 15: File not found

grub> find /boot/grub/menu.lst

Error 15: File not found

What the heck happened/what's the best way of getting it 'back' ?

Well...reinstalling and reconfiguring grub fixed the 'problem'...still not sure what happened though

seperate /boot partion? Maybe it was not mounted when you messed around?

It's a separate partition sure, but it was definitely mounted - all of the .img/vmlinuz were dropped in without issues during the install. It's all good I suppose - I'll mark this one as 'solved'
