Thanks for your reply, there is one drive (SATA-150) in this system (a laptop). Before things went wrong I was using the grub legacy coming with ubuntu gutsy (0.97-29) and I played with the grub2 coming from ubuntu as well (grub2_1.95). About the modules I'll have to check how ubuntu compiles the packages. What I did now however was to repartition & reformat the disk and I can finally boot the beast again :-) Before I did so, I backed up the MBR and had the hope that I could reproduce the freeze again, but instead the system was booting as well ... Yet what I see is that the restored partition table is different from the one I originally had (all logical partitions are lost now) ... So can it be that grub2 is doing some magic with the partition table? > I am somewhat new to GRUB but I=E2=80=99ll help where I can.
