I have a power edge with raid5 that contains Centos 5.4.
I had a drive failure, anyway the array is optimal now but the server
won't boot.
I can boot from a Centos 5.3 liveCD and all the data is still there.
There is no grub.conf just shows a broken link.
Is fixing this as simple as gub-install |--root-directory=/mnt/disc/sda3
/dev/sda|
Before screwing things up I am seeking your all's advice.
Thanks in advance
Dan
