General :: Broken Dual Boot - Xp / Ub - Error: Error File Not Found - Grub Rescue
May 21, 2011Ubuntu 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.
Ubuntu Installation :: Grub Following Error 15: File Not Found?
May 21, 2010My problem now is: After booting my laptop, Ubuntu doesn't load and i'm stuck in a GRUB command prompt and not sure what to do. If i type "boot" I get "error: no loaded kernel"Here is how I got there:1. I ran 9.1 healthily until I was prompted to do an upgrade. I ran the upgrade but some packages weren't authenticated so I ran a partial upgrade. 2. I reboot but I'm faced with "Error 15: File not found". After some research and going through the forums, I thought I found the solution by following these instructions to copy the GRUB files from the Live CD (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Gr...0from%20LiveCD)3. Once I completed this, I'm now stuck at a grub> prompt when rebooting (the error 15 has disappeared). (the screen header informs me i'm dealing with "GNU GRUB version 1.98-1ubuntu5"Any thoughts on what I might have done wrong? From my reading today, I might have installed GRUB2 (even though Grub legacy would have been appropriate?). What is the best way out?

Nov 2, 2010Have a Dell Inspiron 4100 laptop. 1GB RAM and 1 Ghz processor. Has a working install of Oracle Enterprise Linux 5.4 OEL uses Grub version 0.97 My OEL install works well and I do not want to make any changes to it such as upogarding GRUB to a later version etc.
I have installed Xubuntu mini and this completed without a problem.
I have a single hard drive.
I went into OEL and mounted the Xubuntu root drive so I could see the /boot/grub/menu.lst file.
I copied the entries for the main xbuntu kernel etc and pasted them into my OEL grub.conf.

I am doing this so someone else can borrow this laptop for internet use for a few weeks and OEL is not very user friendly and also want to protect my install.

Ubuntu :: Error - File Not Found. Grub Rescue - 10.10
May 12, 2011I have been using various versions of Ubuntu for many years. I love it and I want to stay with it. Now I need help more than ever. So basicly I've searched through forums and other sites which seem to have had the same problem I am having.
However, I've tried all the "fixes" and nothing works at all at this point.
Here is what I have tried so far: [url] and every suggestion here: [url]
When I put in "sudo fdisk -l" I get this:
So after trying the suggestions in the above links I would restart and still get: "error: file not found. Grub rescue>"
I am trying to install it from a usb to an external hd. I installed Ubuntu 8.4 on the same hd before and it worked fine however I need one of the newer versions to use the programs I need. I've been at this for hours and maybe I am just missing something simple.

I have tried a number of solution attempts I've found on the internet with no success.

Ubuntu :: OS Uninstalled - Loading Grub (Error 15) File Not Found
Jul 11, 2010I just (basically) completely uninstalled my OS by accident. In synaptic package manager I selected to completely remove volume control (which had been going haywire for god knows what reason) with intent to immediately reinstall. I didn't put 2 and 2 together when it said it'd remove all related files including the kernel... hal... restricted drivers... everything got uninstalled. Network manager crashed...
I decided to try my luck with restarting (what was left) of the system. Now I'm looking at a boot screen of:
loading grub...
error 15: file not found.
Did I have to just make a boot disc and reinstall the os? or can I just "put the pieces back together" as it were and reinstall with a 'sudo aptitude update' once I get network up again?
Ubuntu :: 10.04 And XP - File Not Found Error On Restart (Grub Rescue)
Feb 12, 2011I have two partitions installed on my computer, Ubuntu 10.04 (part. sda2) and Windows XP (part. sda1). When I restart my computer I get this message:
error: file not found
grub rescue>
I thought this must be a grub error, so I booteda Super Grub disk (v 0.9799). Then I tried to fix grub with the Super Grub disk, but I got this message:
Error 15: File not found
Booting 'not lucky'
pause SGD has NOT succeeded
SGD has NOT succeeded
I then booted the system using an Ubuntu live CD, version 10.04.I tried to repair the sda2 Ubuntu partition. At a terminal prompt I ran [code] sudo e2fsck -f -y -v /dev/sda2. This did not work. It ended with "e2fsck aborted". I could not repair the Ubuntu partition,
I tried to open the sda2 partition by running the terminal command [code] sudo mount /dev/sda2 /mnt. I received the following message:
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda2
missing codepage or helper program, or other error
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so
Using the ntfs-config program, I can easily mount the Windows XP partition (sda1). It mounts and I can read or write the files on the Windows XP partition. So at least Windows XP is not damaged. I downloaded and ran the boot info script, and here are the results:
Code:

Ubuntu :: Grub Rescue During Boot - Error: File Not Found

View 1 Replies View RelatedGeneral :: Clearing Error 15 From Grub - File Not Found
Mar 4, 2011I am using Ubuntu 10.10 dual booted with windows vista. My boot is in a separate partition (sda5). My computer told me that there was limited space on that partition so I tried to clean things up using apt-get by removing old kernels. Turns out I didn't do it correctly because I consistently get an 'ERROR 15' when I shut down and rebooted my computer. I have a live-CD USB-stick so I tried reinstalling grub, (grub-install) updating the menu.lst (update-grub), and manually going through menu.lst and changing to root=(hd0,4) and groot=/dev/sda6. But I still get this ERROR 15 when I reboot.
when I do
sudo grub
find /boot/grub/stage1
find /boot/stage1
Both give me an ERROR 15 message and I'm not sure how to proceed with a diagnosis. When I ran update-grub, occasionally it used to tell me that /etc/fstab may be incorrect. Here is /boot/grub (note that stage 1 does exist!) ( this is /dev/sda5)
Code:
root@ubuntu:/# ls /boot/grub/
default fat_stage1_5 jfs_stage1_5 minix_stage1_5 stage2
device.map grubenv menu.lst reiserfs_stage1_5 xfs_stage1_5
e2fs_stage1_5 installed-version menu.lst~ stage1
Here is my problem
Code:
grub> find /boot/grub/stage1
Error 15: File not found
grub> find /boot/stage1
Error 15: File not found
I guess my main question is, if stage1 can't be found, what does that mean? What should I do next?

SUSE / Novell :: Grub Boot Loader - File Not Found - Error 15
Oct 12, 2010I am unable to get a knoppix poor mans install to boot using grub and opensuse 11.3. I have tried the same method on another box, same opensuse 11.3 and it boots fine. However, no matter what partition I put the knoppix files in on the problem box, it is the same error. I also have several opensuse kernels listed in the grub menu that were added when the kernel was updated, so the knoppix grub entry is off the screen. I have to down arrow to list the knoppix entry. I read that with this kind of error using ubunto as the host system, that running update-grub will force grub to look for bootable kernels and add it to the menu of boot choices. Does the same fix apply to opensuse 11.3? I have two versions of puppy linux working on this box as a poor mans install, so I am at a loss why it will not see the knoppix kernel. Can it be a problem of too many kernels listed in the menu.lst file? This box is a live update from opensuse 11.0.

Ubuntu :: Installing Grub / Grub2 - "Error 15: File Not Found"
Sep 26, 2010I have had it with the frustration of trying to figure out how to successfully install grub on my own, so I am hitting the forums. What can you tell me about installing grub/grub2 (whichever is best -- I want something that works) to my single hard drive computer. Operating systems: Windows XP, xUbuntu 9.10 Hard drive: Samsung SATA 2, 1 TB Desired result: Menu that loads upon boot so that I can select which OS I would like to load without inserting media device or disk.
I thought this individual had the most straight forward and thorough tutorial (of any I have seen) on the subject but precluded at least one thing for me that I cannot afford to ignore: I don't seem to have a "stage1" that can be loaded by the grub shell. Trying to find it in /boot/grub/stage1 in the grub shell, I get... "Error 15: File not found" What I do have in that directory is 'grubenv'. When I boot up, it loads grub, but it comes up with an error message saying, "File not found". Then, all I get is the 'grub rescue' prompt: "grub rescue>".
Obviously, after spending hours on this thing, this is not the whole story. But there have been so many attempts to try fix it with one thing or another, that I cannot easily relate them all, if I could even remember each one.

Fedora Installation :: 15 Installation Fails With Grub Error - File Not Found
May 24, 2011Ive installed about 50+ boxes with ubuntu/mint/fedora/etc but f15 is giving me a real headache...
I tried a fresh install over f14 with this drive (sdb, sda is my backup disk)
Installed obviously in part7
After rebooting (successful copied live image on hdd)
Code:
After another couple of installs (with lvm & w/o lvm) & even disconnecting the second harddrive -> same issue
Typing 'ls' in the rescue grub prompt returns
Code:
Cant 'ls /' into a single them - unknown filesystem (grub is installed in mbr of sdb) 'linux rescue' (wanted to try manual grub installation) command didnt work either.
Now again on fedora 14, same installation procedure, works fine. (and i wont bother doing a full distro upgrade from f14)
Ubuntu :: GRUB File Not Found - Change The Path Of The Grub Reader To Sda 5 ?
Aug 15, 2010I gave sda1-2 for windows and sda 3-4-5 on an extended partition for my linux OS. I installed ubuntu on sda 7 (when I go into disk utilities it shows up as sda 7 idk why) alongside another ubuntu on sda 5 ( EXTENDEDPARTITION : sda 5-6-7 ) so I could remove mandriva bootloader.Since I did, I removed ubuntu (sda 7) since it wasn't necessary but after it gave me the grub file not found.Obviously yes, since GRUB was installed from sda 7 but i have another grub.conf on sda 5 and I would like to know how to change the path of the grub reader to sda 5? or must I install all over again de grub loader?

Sep 5, 2010what I think will be a long post, but I want to include as much information as possible to get some help. I post my question here because it is mostly a boot issue and not strictly a server issue, although that is what I am trying to install. I bought a used server, motherboard has all IDE connectors for HD and cd/dvd. The board is am Asus cuv4x-d. It is a rather old board, introduced to market around Sept. 2000. The two IDE hard drives that came with the mobo have presented the problem as what I will describe for the SATA problem. I wanted to use my SATA-Hard Drive as my storage. I bought an SATA-to-IDE adapter. I installed the hardware and booted from the Ubuntu Server cd. Everything went fine and the installation smooth. When the initial reboot started, this is where the error comes. I get an error that says, Error: out of disk. The next line shows a grub rescue prompt. It appears that Grub can't be found. The motherboard has a Primary and Secondary IDE connection. I have tried connecting the adapter to both.
View 6 Replies View RelatedUbuntu Installation :: Error 'grub-xputs' Not Found
Dec 17, 2010I did the Synaptic Upgrade to Maverick Meerkat 10.10 on my laptop. Win 7 on one of two separate hard drives, and Ubuntu on the other. I kept all the previous configurations the same when the software asked the question about changing to the new formats. On boot up the laptop went right into "grub rescue >".
I located the partitions and found the Ubuntu partition on (hd1,1).
I set the prefix and root which now show:
prefix=(hd1,1)/boot/grub
root=hd1,1
I am not sure what Modules to Load, because I can not find any references to them in my big Ubuntu Book.
I tried "insmod /boot/grub/linux.mod", but it returns "error 'grub-xputs' not found".
When using the "initrd" command, it responds "unknown command". Trying to exit Grub 2 with "normal" also yields an "unknown command".The command "exit", "help", and "linux" returns an "unknown command".
The hold up seems to be that pesky 'grub-xputs'. I can not find out what it is.
Is there a list somewhere of Grub 2 Commands?
I had a similar problem upgrading from 9.10 to 10.04 last April. I was able to reload grub and get the laptop operating normally. This time I am unable to get the laptop out of grub rescue.
Ubuntu :: Error 17 - But 'sudo Grub' - Command Not Found
Jul 30, 2010I have a guy in my office who was using an old version of ubuntu and he tried upgrading to 10 but now he's getting grub error 17. I Google this and everyone suggests reinstalling grub starting with opening a shell and typing 'sudo grub'.
However, I get 'command not found' in response to that. I've tried looking for the location of grub so I could try 'sudo /sbin/grub' and such, but I don't see it anywhere.
Also, I'm using a version 9.10 Live CD at the moment because I can't find out how to disable the drmraid option on the version 10 CD (necessary to detect the hard drives which, although they are on a raid controller are not configured as an array but separate drives).
Ubuntu :: Grub Reports File Not Found
Jan 22, 2010So I got my DOS 6.0 entry in... but Grub reports file not found. I assume grub is fine, and DOS6 was working and I haven't done anything to it. Needless to say, I'm guessing that I'm telling grub to look in the wrong place for the dos bootloader. Here's what I have in my 40_Custom file:
#!/bin/sh
exec tail -n +3 $0
menuentry "MS-DOS 6.0" {
insmod chain
insmod vfat
search --fs-uuid --set 3c34-9666
chainloader +1
}
The "vfat" and uuid of "3c34-9666" were reported by using sudo blkid Do I need to set the root? I thought the uuid took care of that?
