     We're running SL 3.0.5 XFS (Installed from SL 3.0.2 CD's and upgraded).
 I started a script that accidentally started making a mess of all file
systems on the machine.  I stopped the script before it finished and before
the system crashed.  With the system still up and running, I reloaded
everything from our latest backup, which went well, and rebooted.  However,
instead of booting up, all I get is "GRUB GRUB".  I booted from the SL 3.0.2 I
used for the initial install and tried the recovery option.  It said there
weren't any file systems to recover from.
     We have 4 drives with 3 partitions on each drive.  One partition from
each drive is RAID 1 (mirrored) and is mounted as /boot.  Another partition
from each drive is swap and the last partition from each drive is RAID 0
(stripped) with the rest of the OS and user files.
     Anyone have any ideas on how I can recover with out having to reload
everything from scratch and restore the tape backups again?  Thanks for any
help.
