My f13 partition stopped booting, so this result is from my
f12 partition... not sure if that will do you any good:

I don't know what happened to f13... it was working last Thursday.
Now when I chainload f13, it gives me this error:

Error 1 : Filename must be either an absolute pathname or blocklist

Cheers,
