grub rescue prompt
by G-Raps from LinuxQuestions.org on (#540YY)
Hi All,
While I have a working system, I would like to draw attention to a situation that some of you may have experienced at one point or another. When the partitions of a disk fail for some reason or other, the Linux grub rescue prompt appears on the screen. Some descriptions that show onscreen describe that one has started up the system from a crash, and then the prompt appears, like the following:
grub rescue>
Some options for this prompt include ls, ?, help, and some system commands like mount, df, and lsusb. What are some tips useful for analyzing the system and restoring to a working boot of an operating system ?
