in running fdisk -l it displays

I tried chroot /mnt/sysimage
grub-install /dev/sda7
Ctrl+D (twice)
But its not booting. The boot menu appears but error is displayed regarding unable to
mount device
Did you check if the grub.conf file has some wrong information?
For example, the root partition is sda7? Did you have a boot
partition? Is /etc/fstab consistent?
If you can get to the grub menu, you also have the boot console (by
pressing 'c'), so you could try things there.
