General :: Boot From Harddrive - Grub Error 22 ?

Mar 19, 2010

I am trying to boot up linux on a SATA drive. The SATA drive already had some other linux. I 'fdisk' the SATA drive and cleared all partitions. Now tried to CD boot with linux, it copied over to the SATA drive, however, when i tried to boot from harddrive, it gave me a GRUB Error 22. Why does this happen ? Shouldnt the linux have created its own partition ?

General :: Broken Dual Boot - Xp / Ub - Error: Error File Not Found - Grub Rescue

May 21, 2011

Ubuntu 9.10 was set up to handle the booting selection - previously I thought it was xp but Ubuntu 9.10 "did" it. The system started out as a xp / ubuntu 9.10 dual boot on a 400gb drive. xp has 210gb, ub has 80 and their is a 100gb shared storage. Xp was installed first and then I followed a guide over at linuxconfig.org to get ub installed so that I could select which OS was wanted at boot. Ubuntu manages the boot up menu (Went back to look at my notes from the original setup) The owner tried to update to ub 11.04 and afterall was said and done the machine now boots to the message

error file not found grub rescue I can't say if 11.04 was properly installed or not. Ask whatever you like and I'll give the best answer I can. I think the xp install is okay but I can't say for certain as I don't know how to boot it outside the bootmanager at startup. Data has been saved so if I have to blow it all away and start over I can but I'm hoping I won't have to.

General :: On Boot - GRUB Error 17 ?

May 13, 2010

On boot I'm getting

GRUB error 17

on a Windows vista dual boot with mandriva 2010, and I'm using a mandriva LiveCD.

fdisk -l

I see other posts asking for output of grub files in /etc/ none found on my kit, closest I see is

other posts reference this block of cmds to which I need to perserve my dual boot so uncertain how to proceed

How do I make sense of output of fdisk shown above to issue above block of cmds ? Am familiar with unix as a software developer, not sysadmin

Software :: GRUB When Cloning Machine - Error: "An Error Occurred During Boot Loader Installation"

Feb 13, 2010

I used proprietary software (acronis trueimage) to clone an Opensuse 11.1 machine, onto another machine with somewhat distinct hardware (different motherboard, less memory). I expected to have to change entries in /boot/grub/menu.lst, /etc/fstab, etc. I was told a good way to do this was to use the Opensuse DVD's "repair installed system" feature.

When I ran the repair, I was informed that "bootloader configuration file contains errors". I attempted to re-install the bootloader, but received this unhelpful error: "An error occurred during boot loader installation. Retry boot loader configuration?". When I boot the system, I just see the text "GRUB ", followed by a flashing underscore character.

Fedora Installation :: Boot Live Iso From Portable Harddrive

Mar 11, 2009

I'm making life difficult for myself. Summary, I have a laptop with F10 installed on a portable harddrive (sdb 1-3, i.e., no logical volume) Works great, no complaints so I guess this reduces to a grub question; how do I edit grub.conf to boot an iso on sdb4? Fedora10.iso for example.

Ubuntu :: Copying Dual-Boot Win7 Harddrive ?

Sep 19, 2010

My brother has been a long time Linux fan, and has been getting on me forever to dual-boot my computer with Linux. So I finally got around to it and dual-booted it with a partition, and it works just fine, problem is all my stuff is on the Windows 7 partition of the hard-drive. I hear the big Linux feature is being able to take everything from the Windows side of the computer and transferring it over to the Linux side...

My only question is, where would I find that feature? I browsed around the administration system capabilities but couldn't find anything related to the partition, so I could use a little guidance in finding the feature, or whether I need to download a program to use it.

Ubuntu :: Mounting Error From Partitioned Harddrive 'Failed To Open Hiberfil.sys'

Mar 17, 2011

Vista refused to boot past login and eventually froze up in safe mode, preventing me from even safely copying files to a storage device. My friend suggested trying Ubuntu temporarily, and I'm currently running it as a trial from a key thob.I'm very much a newbie to the OS but after some getting used to and playing around over a few days Im happy to make the switch permanently. I managed to take off the needed files, and then went on to do some cleaning up of my harddrive to make some room for a partition for Ubuntu. I was removing things like old music, videos and games, nothing vital, but after I reset I tried to enter the C drive Im given this message:

Error mounting: mount exited with exit code 18: Failed to open hiberfil.sys data attribute: No such file or directory Failed to mount '/dev/sda2': No such file or directoryMy HD is currently partitioned for two 150gb drives, and I can still use my D drive fine for all purposes.

Fedora :: Unable To Boot - Grub Error

Sep 2, 2009

I installed windows and haven't been able to boot to fedora since. Without a boot disk my machine complains 'BOOTMGR is missing'. If I use a boot disk to access grub on another linux partition (/dev/sda5) I can try to boot my fedora install using its old grub.conf settings. However this gives me the grub error:

Code:
root (hd0,0)
Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.29.6-213.fc11.x86_64 ro root=UUID=63608748-e626-4a3f-9232-c836524f606f rhgb quiet

Error 2: Bad file or directory type
Darn grub thinks the file system type is ext2fs - this makes me think windows might have written something (perhaps its bootloader) to the first partition rather than the MBR.

Ubuntu :: Grub Out Of Disk Error On Boot

Sep 4, 2010

Edit: This is somewhat inaccurate, please see post #16 on page 2 for my actual situation

I'm more than a little confused by this. A little while back I had to reinstall my machine because I had a hard disk failure and I replaced my primary drive.Everything went perfectly smoothly, but then a couple of weeks after that when I rebooted, it dumped my into the grub rescue console

Code:

error: out of disk.
grub rescue>

So, I found a solution to the problem on these forums, rebooted perfectly fine, and thought everything was fine. Until the next time I rebooted, when it happened again. And now, every single time I reboot, I get the same issue.I have to do the following, each and every time I want to reboot - and i'm at a loss to explain why grub is borking itself every time.Boot off a live cd.Open a konsole window

Code:

sudo su -
mount /dev/sda6 /mnt
mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/boot
mount --bind /dev /mnt/dev

Software :: GRUB Won't Boot From XFS Partition Gives Error 21.

Apr 17, 2010

GRUB (0.97) won't boot the XFS partition that holds my new Arch Linux install, instead giving an error 21. I am able to boot my system using GRUB on the Arch Linux install CD - having to manually edit the commands each time.

This holds even after I updated all software and then reran setup from the grub shell. I made sure to install to the MBR not the partition (the latter I believe trashes XFS).

Googling has found some mentions of trouble, but nothing that seems to clear on how to resolve the issue.

Changing filesystem is not an option - I installed Arch on a drive that already contained all my data. (Which is all fine, I made sure not to format it
