I rebooted my esx 4 server today and was greet by a single bit of text that said GRUB and it hung. I am attempting to restore the MBR GRUB partition, but am having difficulties. All i have is the ESX 4 installation ISO. Can someone help me with the procedure to make this work?

I was able to fix it by booting from the ESX 4 DVD, then stepping through the install until it loaded the storage drivers. Then, ctrl-alt-F2 and this procedure:
# grub
grub> root (hd0,0)
grub> setup (hd0)
then rebooted and all was good.

I've used this Super Grub Disk to repair a linux install's boot loader before. Can anyone confirm that this will work with ESX?

Doesn't help when you're stuck in a data center with no way to burn disks. – Erik Funkenbusch Apr 15 '10 at 07:38
