Here's my problem, for whatever reason the system can see the HDD and install just fine on my Gateway (Samsung) netbook but won't boot after install using the UUID. With F16 and 17 I could do this at the GRUB prompt to fix the boot issue:<br>

At the time, I didn't have a need to investigate and when F19 was released I had hoped the problem would be fixed and upgraded to it from the bastardized F17/18 system. Still no go. <br>

I rather expected to be able to use the commands above to fix that but obviously the boot process isn't the same now as I'm getting '/boot/grub/i386-pc/linux.mod not found' when I enter lines 3 and 4 above.<br>

<p>Since you "blew out (the) partition" once, and presumably have nothing important on it, my uneducated guess would be to reformat it and try again - since formatting is supposed to remove everything. Way before this, I might call a dracut command to correct the problem.</p>
