0.95 is a very old version.
Actually we even don't support anymore grub-legacy.
You should never use the grub shell with the setup command but the grub-install script to install grub.
It does more then just using setup (), i.e. it copies the stage files to /boot/grub
For example: grub-install /dev/sda

If you need help then you should write a mail to help-grub or bug-grub but not make a bug report.

Error 15: File not found

It is supposed that I should have /boot folder and more folders on my computer. But now they are missing

If they are missing then this is of course not a bug in grub.
grub-install will make sure that all files in /boot/grub exist which grub needs.

Dear all

My computer is running on Centos 4 linux only. After I updated a software package on my computer, the computer was hanged. I rebooted the system, and then it came with GNU GRUB interface. I typed the following commands and here are the outputs.

GNU GRUB version 0.95 (602K lower / 3404843K upper memory)
[ Minimal BASH-like line editing is supported. For the first word, TAB lists possible command completions. Anywhere else TAB lists the possible completions of a device/filename.]

grub> root (hd<tab>
Possible disks are: hd0 hd1

grub> root (hd0,<tab>
Possible partitions are:
Partition num: 0, Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83
Partition num: 1, Filesystem type unknown, partition type 0x82
Partition num: 2, Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83

grub> root (hd0,0)
Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83

grub> find /<tab>
Possible files are: proc sys dev selinux usr .automount .autofsck

grub> setup (hd0)
Checking if "/boot/grub/stage1" exists... no
Checking if "/grub/stage1" exists... no

Error 15: File not found

It is supposed that I should have /boot folder and more folders on my computer. But now they are missing. Could anyone help me to solve the problem and boot the OS?

Thanks
Angel
