Software :: Cannot Run Debian After Installing It - Does Not Appear In Grub

Jan 30, 2010

I just installed debian squeeze and at finish it asked me if it write the MBR with gurb. I say yes, but after restarintg, squeeze doesnot appear in grub. I also have debian lenny in the same PC. I installed debian squeeze in

Code:

/dev/sda9: UUID="85383eab-fce7-450b-b713-c6bdfd57f53a" SEC_TYPE="ext2" TYPE="ext3"

I try to add it to menu.lst this way:

Code:

titleDebian GNU/Linux, Squeeze kernel 2.6.32
root(hd0,8)
kernel/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32-trunk-amd64 root= UUID=85383eab-fce7-450b-b713-c6bdfd57f53a ro quiet
initrd/boot/initrd.img-2.6.32-trunk-amd64

When I choose it from grub menu, seems to run, but in 5,6 seconds it stoped and tell me doesnot find some files, like /proc, /etc/fstab, etc... Files I have in /boot (in squeeze particion) are:

Code:

initrd.img-2.6.32-trunk-amd64.bak
grub System.map-2.6.32-trunk-amd64
initrd.img-2.6.32-trunk-amd64 vmlinuz-2.6.32-trunk-amd64

I also tried SGD and when I choose squeeze, appear a black screen with promt

Code:

GRUB>

How can I run squeeze I just installed.

Debian Configuration :: How To Restore My Debian's Grub After Installing Windows 7

Sep 5, 2010

I have installed Windows 7 on my laptop . Now, it directly boot from Windows 7 . I think the MBR overwrote my grub . I have found two methods by google , but still does work .
1: boot from debian install CD, Alt +F2 switch to the console. "grub " "root (hd0,0)" "setup (hd0,0)".
2:boot from CD, mount /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part1 /mnt ; chroot /mnt ; grub-install /dev/sda.

Debian Installation :: GRUB After Installing 8.2 Over Ubuntu

Mar 20, 2016

I had a dual boot with windows 10 and Ubuntu 14.04, and I just decided to move from Ubuntu to Debian, but I didn't unistall Ubuntu. I just deleted it's partitions (/, /home, swap) and used the new allocatable space. When I was doing the partitions I noticed that the installer didn't allow me to choose between logical and primary partitions (not sure if this is important).

When I continued with the installation process, in the GRUB section the installer detected two Windows Vista options and later I selected /dev/sda as the disk for the GRUB (MBR). When I tried to boot, a GRUB command line screen from ubuntu appeared, when I wrote exit a message appeared "Boot succesfull" and then it sent me to the Boot selection from my laptop.

From there I can choose to boot Windows 10 normally or select a disk partition that sends me to the Debian GRUB from where I can boot Debian normally, but the Windows entries that appear (Windows 8.1 and Windows 8 recovery mode) fail to boot. So when I boot the Debian GRUB appears.

Debian :: How To Config Grub After Installing Windows 10

Aug 16, 2015

I have 2 HDDs, and under linux, sda is ntfs, sdb is ext4 of debian jessie, the booting order is sdb ( it contains the grub on sdb's MBR) then sda, the windows boot loader on its own MBR.

The sda was win8, but now just formatted it and did a fresh installation of win10. After power off PC and plug the sdb up again. Turn on the power, setup the booting prior as same as above, but, the grub can not realize the windows 10 boot sector, error message is: no such device /dev/sda1... (and following a digit array) 8xxxxxxxxxxxx....

How to config grub in order to make it can dual boot both Operating System?

Debian Configuration :: After Installing GRUB Win 7 Fails To Boot

Nov 26, 2015

I have a ~ 2008 notebook (Compaq CQ60-137EL) on which I had Windows 7 only (it was sold with Windows Vista installed).

Later I installed Debian Jessie 8.2.0 Stable ("Graphical expert install" from DVD), along with GRUB as a boot manager (I chose not to install it on the EFI removable media path).

Since then, if I select Windows 7 on the GRUB boot screen, I see "Starting Windows...", and after few seconds the screen flashes for a moment, and then the PC reboots: I see the bios screen, followed by the GRUB screen again.
What's even more weird about this is the fact it just happens only in like ~50% of the cases. In the other 50%, Win7 starts flawlessy.

I even tried to install Debian first, then Windows 7, then re-install GRUB, but I got the same issue, even with both system freshly installed.

On 6 attempts, 3 times it worked and 3 times it didn't.

On my desktop PC I'm in the same setting, but I don't have this issue. I think it may be related with the fact I have Win7 on a SSD and I installed Debian on a separate HDD, while on my notebook, as you can imagine, there's just one single HDD.

Debian Configuration :: Restoring Lenny's GRUB After Installing Windows XP Elsewhere?

Feb 21, 2010

My computer initially had one hard drive, with Debian Lenny 5.0.4 installed. I haven't done any special configuration, so upon boot, I was presented with the GRUB kernel select menu, then gdm, etc. I think I used the Debian installer's 'use entire drive with LVM' configuration.

I then added a second hard drive, with the intention of installing Windows XP on it. After I installed XP on this second drive, I found out that it had overwritten the MBR on the first drive. (It was my intention do use the BIOS' F8-key boot menu to choose between the two drives, each with their own distinct boot loader. The two drives and OS's would be completely independent.)

Using my Debian installer CD, I think I have GRUB installed on the first drive again. I've found a number of tutorials which say I can use 'set' and 'linux' to boot the system, but the linux command always returns a file not found error.

I think my LVM filesystem is still intact, as the Debian installer's fdisk reports it, it can also chroot to it and my installation appears to be intact. 'ls' within GRUB shows (derek-swap_1) (derek-root) (hd0) (hd0,1) (hd0,2) (hd1) (hd1,1) (fd0) . 'derek' was the hostname I used.

I would like to simply restore the system to the way it was before: with the standard GRUB that comes with Debian 5.0.4, which then boots into the debian with my LVM filesystem. Is there a way to do this from the Debian installer CD? (I was hoping there would be a 'dummy install' command which would install GRUB and configure it properly, but leave all my existing partitions and filesystems intact.)

Ubuntu Installation :: 9.10 - Will Installing Debian Lenny Break GRUB 2

Jan 11, 2010

If I install a totally different Linux distro on my existing Ubuntu 9.10 system, will it break GRUB 2? I was thinking of installing Debian Lenny, but have held off because I do not want to inadvertently wreck the boot arrangement.

I've previously installed Windows after installing Kubuntu, and had to reinstall GRUB as the bootloader as a result. It wasn't a big deal with the old GRUB, but I don't know if it's that easy with GRUB 2.

I am not sure what bootloader Debian Lenny uses. I've been looking but haven't found the answer yet. I guess if it also uses Grub 2, I wouldn't have to fix anything.

I want to try out Lenny because an app I want to use (Teamspeak 3) doesn't play nicely with Pulseaudio. Pulseaudio is integral to Ubuntu 9.10, but I have other options with Debian Lenny. I'd like to see whether the app works better there w/LXDE.

I guess I could also just make a virtual Lenny machine in Virtualbox, but I wouldn't get full use of my hardware, so I wouldn't be able to play Urban Terror (which is why I want to use Teamspeak 3).

Ubuntu :: Why Does Installing Grub-doc Remove BOTH Grub-pc And Grub-common

Jan 3, 2010

I'm just slightly confused here, but... what the? Why does installing grub-doc remove BOTH grub-pc, and grub-common? So basically it seems like by installing grub-doc, I have uninstalled grub totally (yes, it is still there as the bootloader, but i have no way of updating it now!) from my system. What's the conflict between grub-doc and grub-pc, such that grub-pc has to be removed?

Software :: Problem With Installing Debian Onto External Hard Drive/grub Bootloader Error "21"

Jul 10, 2009

I've been running Debian Lenny kernel 2.6.26 w/ desktop kde3.5 on my laptop for a while, and im going to take a trip in which i will be unable to take wmy laptop with me. However, where i am going contains computers and i figured if i could install debian onto my external harddrive, i could just boot onto the other computers. I install it using the debianlenny-i386 dvd image. However whenever I try to boot it from a computer. Grub returns

Code:
Grub Loading...
Error 21
and then the blinkng cursor. On one site i found something saying "you may need to activat the drive" and some command-line instructions on how to do it. However the commands have faded from memory and i am now unable to find that site again. Could anyone offer insight on how to fix this "grub error 21" or how to activate it. I run primarily debian but i have a windows partition on one of my relative's computers.
Thank you in advance for the help!!!
btw I'm installing on a western digital 500gb "passport" external hard drive with ext3 and swap partitions.

Ubuntu Installation :: Re-installing The GRUB On MBR?

Oct 6, 2010

I've got a dual boot set up with Windows on my first hard drive and Ubuntu Lucid on my second.Recently I had to Re-install Windows and it replaced GRUB on my master boot record.On a long shot I tried to boot into Ubuntu by going into my boot options from my BIOS and booting into my secondary drive but this just brought up a GRUB command line.So I booted into a Jaunty live cd (the Lucid live disk doesn't seem to like my graphics card) and in terminal I tried to run

Code:

sudo grub
root (hd0,0)
setup (hd0)

after running the final line I get the error: "Error 17: Cannot mount selected partition".I'm pretty certain that sda1 is my MBR so that would translate to (hd0,0) on GRUB right? here is my output of "fdisk -l";

Code:

Disk /dev/sda: 2000.3 GB, 2000398934016 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 243201 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

Fedora :: GRUB Error After Installing F12 / Solution For This?

Jan 2, 2010

I currently have two hard drives. One of them is a dedicated Windows 7 x64 500gb drive. The other, is a 152gb drive that I plan to install Fedora in. When I booted from the live CD, I chose the option to use the entire 152gb disk and to boot from the 152gb disk. I'm not sure if I did something wrong there, but now, GRUB won't detect Windows 7 or Fedora 12.

I would also like to leave the Windows 7 hdd untouched.

I previously had a non-working OpenSUSE installation on the 152gb drive

Fedora :: RAID1 - Installing Grub On 2nd Disk?

Dec 7, 2010

Just finished installing F14 with RAID1 setup for 2 hdd (SATA''s). Entire drives are mirrored, including SWAP. As I had done in the past, I was planning on installing grub on MBR of 2nd hdd. In prep for this I did the following to locate the grub setup files:

grub> find /grub/stage1
find /grub/stage1
(hd0,1)

[code]....

I was surprised, expected to get (hd0,0) & (hd1,0), not (hd0,1) & (hd1,1)

running "fdisk -l" I get:

Disk /dev/sda: 120.0 GB, 120034123776 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 14593 cylinders, total 234441648 sectors
Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes

[code]....

MBR is the first 512 bytes of the drive. Each partition has a boot sector. In my case grub stage 1 is on 2nd partition of sda & 2nd partition of sdb. What i dont understand is how grub stage 1 can be on sda2 & sdb2, since I am assuming that sda1 & sdb1 would be the first partitions of the drives & therefore contain the MBR's. Maybe this might be because sda1 & sdb1 are SWAP partitions?

Before installing xp (on second partition), I toke a backup of MBR (actually first 63 sectors) by dd utility. Later i installed xp. You may know, it doesn't know seven and makes it un-bootable. Then I restored MBR. But I surprised because xp still boots up. whats the problem? BTW what I want to do now is to multi boot xp and seven. Is there any work around, something like a hack using GRUB boot loader to be able boot the both?

I have tried to reinstall it with a Live CD but this didn't work. Maybe I was doing something wrong. I'm sorry if I'm asking a question that has already been posted but I could only find ways to make your GRUB reappear, not reinstall it.

I'm stuck with Windows 7 for a week or two now and I really want to get back to using Ubuntu!
