Grub loads, but doesn't display menu.

[knixkw]

hmm, GRUB doesn't know where the menu.lst is located.

For partition 1 on Your first ide disk these are the commands on GRUB commandline:

# Tell GRUB where /boot/grub/menu.lst is located
root (hd0,0)
# write MBR
setup (hd0)

Pay attention on the crazy GRUB numbering of disks and partitions, please...

Good luck!
