Hello All, Linux newbie here. I’m running SLES 10 SP1 (best of my memory and I’m away from system), server boots to grub prompt and when I find for stage1 (file not found) or do
setup (hd0,0)
Checking if “/boot/grub/stage1” exists… no
Checking if “/grub/stage1” exists… no
I’d like to attempt to install those files from a rescue disk. Where can I download the necessary rescue disk given the OS I’m on?
Hi and welcome to the Forum 
CD1 should get you to a rescue system…

The other option is to boot from any rescue system and then mount, bind and chroot…

Before doing a “setup” you need to tell grub from where to copy stuff,
aka do a “root (hd0,0)” (assuming that’s where it is). Do you know the
disk layout of the server? Aka does it have a sepearate /boot partition,
and if yes, where?

Hello and thanks for the responses. So I have the bootable SLES 10 Disc 1, but haven’t done anything yet because the external drive reader wasn’t working. Anyway, based off the below could someone tell me the steps I need to take to copy the stage1 file or reinstall grub based on my initial post.
So grub> find ( [TAB] returns
Possible disks are: fd0 fd1 fd2 fd3 fd4 fd5 fd6 fd7 hd0 hd1 hd2
And grub> find (hd0, [TAB] returns
Possible partitions are:
Partition num: 0, Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83
Partition num: 1, Filesystem type is reiserfs, partition type 0x83
Partition num: 2, Filesystem type unknown, partition type 0x82
And grub> find (hd0,1)/boot/ [TAB] returns
Error 16: Inconsistent filesystem structure
But grub> find (hd0,0)/boot/ [TAB] returns
Possible files are: lost+found grub boot message symsets-2.6.16.46-0.12-smp.tar.gz System.map-2.6.16.46-0.12-smp config-2.6.16.46-0.12-smp vmlinuz initrd
symtypes-2.6.16.46-0.12-smp.gz symvers-2.6.16.46-0.12-smp.gz vmlinux-2.6.16.46-0.12-smp.gz vmlinuz-2.6.16.46-0.12-smp initrd-2.6.16.46-0.12-smp backup_mbr
If a character in a filename looks off its because I had to type each one. Couldn’t see how to attach a picture file from my computer.
For SLED12/SLES12:
=> Replace grub commands with the correct grub commands for SLES10!!
Boot from SLED/SLES Installation DVD
choose „Rescue System“
Login „root“
