I've made a huge mess trying to solve the same problem as in this thread.
I dual-boot (or should I say booted) Windows 7 with Sabayon.
After modifying the GRUB config files as suggested in that thread, I ran grub2-install on what I supposed to be the boot partition (it was listed as %boot, in fact). I'm quite sure I installed GRUB on the wrong partition, because after the following reboot this message appeared:
- Code: Select all
Entering rescue mode...
error: the symbol 'grub_puts_' not found
grub rescue>
Now I'm stuck at this prompt, with no way to sort out this mess, not even through the Live DVD, as the GRUB Editor GUI returns an unknown Error 127 when I try to install GRUB from there.
My fdisk -l log:
- Code: Select all

I installed GRUB on /dev/sda6, which was listed as %root.
Thanks in advance for the help.
