Re-doing the whole boot system

Had a go with Intrepid Ibex on me spare partition, didn't like it and decided to write Mandriva's grub setup back to the mbr using the mcc.

 

However, there are errors occuring on boot.

 

Is there an easy way to reinstall or redo the whole grub setup from scratch?

Both the vmlinuz and initrd.img in the boot directory and referenced in grub aren't linked to anything. Shouldn't these be linked to something??

 

Ignore the above for now, need to find out what the errors are first!!

 

What's the best way to find the information that's generated during boot?

Thanks for the advice all!

 

The issue caused by installing intrepid ibex reminds me of how functional my mandriva install actually is. :thumbs:

 

So I think I'll try and find the error message which I see by pressing esc during boot and see if I can fix it.

 

So how do I access what whizzes past on the screen during boot?
