Ok, not getting any response here, probably means either:

1.) This is not the correct forum for someone NOT knowledgeable in the inner workings of GRUB2,

2.) & or no one give a flying fig if someone has a serious problem involving GRUB (1 or 2).

Would someone be so kind as to explain... & perhaps, if necessary, direct me to a forum that might actually be able to help me problem solve here?

In principle, the right list for obtaining help with GRUB would be
help-grub.

But in practice, I'm not sure if there will be people there who can
provide user assistance.  Therefore user questions are tollerated in
grub-devel.

I'd really like to make help-grub the user support forum, but since I don't
have more time to volunteer myself, I'm not sure how to make this happen.

FWIW, if anyone who reads this is willing to help the GRUB project by
watching help-grub and helping with user requests there, he/she's more
than welcome to do that.

Hi Robert (& any one willing & or able to try & help here, in some way),

I do appreciate your response. I did a search & found the grub-help list, I signed up, & now know (at least) probably not much help there.

Perhaps the simplest request, since I tried reinstalling it, then uninstalled grub2 (& grub), tried lilo, then installing (I think) legacy grub (this thru synaptic p.m.), & I just read (a portion) of the grub manual... & do believe I got, previously, some possibly dangerous advise previously on grub-dev list (grub-install), but in any case, if I just knew where to find relatively clear information on how to configure (or whatever needs to be done to connect a fresh install of grub (or grub2) with the kernel, & or whatever is necessary), considering I am booted from a disk (pmagic), which uses grub2, v. 0.97-os.1, into my OS, Debian Lenny, sid/squeeze, kernel 2.6.32, this might be of some help. In a *cursory* look thru the grub manual, I couldn't find this.

& by the way, this version of grub allows my monitor to work in correct resolution, with out problems (trying to fix this, was original cause of my problem/s here, apparently, the startup-manager would not connect its parameters with grub). I think the version of grub2 that got 'upgraded' was v. 0.973-alpha (alas,not really sure of this, in any case, it was the latest upgrade just several days ago).

Hoping this make enough sense to possibly advise a trail toward resolution.

Henry
