   Could I have some advice please?   
   Despite what it says below, this machine would normally be running   
   kernel 2.6.39.4-5.1-desktop, which is the latest installed kernel.   
   I had to reboot this machine, and it stopped after the following messages:   
   GRUB loading   
   Welcome to GRUB!   
   error file /grub2/i386-pc/normal.mod not found   
   grub-rescue.....   
      
   Grub2 is not installed on this machine.   
      
   I got the machine running using SystemRescue 3.8.1, which explains the   
   different kernel. Do I now recreate initrd-2.6.39.4-5.1-desktop.img? Why   
   should grub2 be invoked?   
   Thanks (and best wishes for 2014 to all readers)
