Fixing when grub gives you a bash-like shell. This means that grub cannot find the kernel (root)

You see something like this:

Quote

GNU GRUB version 0.96 (640K lower / 3072K upper memory) [ Minimal BASH-like line editing is supported. For the first word, TAB lists possible command completions. Anywhere else TAB lists the possible completions of a device/filename. ]
grub>

If you have installed grub on a separate partition /dev/hda4 and have kernel in / directory, type in the GRUB shell:

Quote

root (hd0,3)
setup (hd0)
quit

Notice grub calls hda4 as (hd0,3). It is always one number behind.
