F27: Grub2 hosed; request rescue help

[Max Pyziur]

Greetings,

While doing an upgrade on a non-critical laptop, including a kernel 
upgrade, the machine froze.

Rebooting brought information to the effect that no boot image was 
available.

I've been trying to find, and also using different CDs to rescue the 
system.

I have both an F27 workstation install DVD and a SuperGrub2 Disk.

Along with having no Google-fu today, nothing seems to be enabling me to 
have much progress in rescuing this machine.

It's a Dell Latitude E6220; 750GB HDD, 8GB RAM.

Any suggestions and advice on links etc would be appreciated.

Much thanks,

Max Pyziur

Some chiseling, but in the end this page got me home (under the BIOS 
section)

Glad things worked out.   Just for info sake, my first line rescue go to
has been

http://www.system-rescue-cd.org/

It is simple, fast, and usually boots on any x86 system I have tried.  Has
tools to get you going and seems to stay focused on recovery assets.  It
starts in cli but has a GUI if you need one.  Give it a look and keep it
handy.
