OK, checked GRUB, all was well there.vtpup wrote:Replace your vmlinuz and intird.gz with the ones on the CD.
Also be sure that your Grub is pointing to the right one of these if you have several in puplet directories, and one outside of them. Look at your menu.lst carefully for typos.
Initrd.gz and vmlinuz must be the correct ones for your sfs version. Unfortunately they all have the same name.
I'm going to guess your vmlinuz is bad or wrong or not pointed to correctly.
Cleaned up all of the save file debris and any other non-essentials.
Verified that the operating files are all identical with the CD.
Lost of the installed non-stock apps and games and updates but the boot problem appear to be solved.
THANKS!
