Ubuntu Installation :: Boot In Second SATA Using Win XP GRLDR

May 30, 2010

I have GRLDR configured in C:oot.ini in Windows XP in the first SATA drive. Now I also have Ubuntu in the second SATA.

I have two options.

1. Switch the SATA drives so that the Ubuntu SATA is the primary boot drive. Use grub to boot Windows XP from there.

2. Boot Win XP which shows the GRUB menu of GRLDR. Choose the ubuntu boot menu so that it can detect the second SATA and boot Ubuntu.

How can I set up the second option ? I know that everyone might recommend option 1 but I want to learn if it is possible or not.

Ubuntu Installation :: No Wubildr - Cannot Find GRLDR Error?

Mar 12, 2010

i've downloaded and installed ubuntu 9.10 (64bit) using Wubi on win seven(x86)(with the "loader Extr.me" ). (The PC is an amd 64 x2)

At first restart appears the dualboot, I choose ubuntu but appears this message:
Try (hd0, 0) NTFS5: No wubildr

After one minute:

Try (hd0,1) invalid or null
Try (hd0, 2) invalid or null
Try(hd0, 3) invalid or null
Try (fd0): invalid or null
and then:

Error: Cannot find GRLDR in all devices. Press Ctrl + alt + del to restart.

Ubuntu Installation :: Boot From Pen Drive Then To Sata?

Feb 28, 2011

I have a HP PC that I have installed a PCI SATA controller in. The PC doesn't support booting from the card.... So here is what I would like to do. (btw..I'm a seasoned noob on Linux.) I would like to be able to boot ubuntu 10.10 from a usb pin drive 2Gb to a point where the kernal can recognize the SATA drive then start the OS from the SATA HDD.

I can see and access the drive if I boot to a live CD but when I install it won't boot because the PC's bios does not see the PCI card. This has to be possible but my Google foo isn't strong enough to find out how. Would a simple GRUB install on the pen drive work?

Ubuntu Installation :: 11.04 On Sata Raid Won't Boot?

Aug 20, 2011

I have a Asus P5Q-E with SATA Raid (fake Raid ?) with 2 250Gb disks on Raid 0 and have Windows 7 installed. Freed some space and want to install Ubuntu 11.04 alongside Win7. Install choosing the "alongside" option. Installed...reboot...grub rescue (error no such device). Win7 disk recovery and got access to Win7 again. Where is Ubuntu ? Nowhere... the free space continues free (not partitioned) and found no evidence of ubuntu install. Ok...second try with "something else" option, created /boot /swap and / partitions and installed grub on /boot partition (this time I want to use windows boot to choose...and if it fails the instalation again, at least I got Windows). Installed...reboot...grub rescue.

Again, the free space wasn't partitioned and the installer spend some time doing something but there is no evidence of ubuntu install. Also grub seems to be installed on first disk (even when I choose /boot as device bootloader installation) - I've used EasyBCD to create an entry on win bootloader and when I choose that got grub> (not grub rescue>).

Can Ubuntu be installed on such conditions ?

Ubuntu Installation :: Connecting The Second Sata Drive - No Boot

Oct 7, 2010

I've been trying to find a solution, I've looked everywhere but no luck. I have a 1TB drive, checked the cable & it's connected to motherboard SATA0. That motherboard is dual booting fine (windows7 + Ubuntu 10.04).

My problem is when I connect the other SATA drive, SATA1. Upon restarting my machine, nothing happens & I dont see any boot menu (grub).

I've checked the bios settings, boot drives are in order:

CD-ROM
SATA0
SATA1

To check if the second drive has physical errors, I've connected it as SATA0 (alone) & installed successfully windows & ubuntu 10.04. I formatted it & installed ubuntu studio. The drive is working fine. So I formatted it again, & now it's not connected.

How can I make it work? I want SATA0 to have both windws/ubuntu, & the SATA1 to be just a data storage drive.

Ubuntu Installation :: Won't Boot When Additional Sata Is Connected

Mar 8, 2011

1. I install Desktop 10.4 or server 10.10 on my 250GB IDE drive using guided partition structure.

2. I add SATA Drives (of varying types and sizes to test) to the system and create a raid.

3. When I restart grub won't initialize with the SATA's plugged in.

4. I have tried this in various ways, installing with the SATAs already connected, making the raid in the install process etc.

I have tried re-installing formatting the drives in windows, deleting partitions, making new ones, low level formatting. It appears to be related to an issue with GRUB re-ordering drives so it is trying to boot off the wrong drive - I would edit grub but it doesn't get that far into the boot. Just rudely flashes it''s cursor at me. Is this really so uncommon that there isn't a straight simple answer?

What makes me think it has to do with partitions and formatting is that when I first added new drives they worked on the boot. I even made the raid in Desktop mode in Server - Rebooted- Rude flashing cursor.

Ubuntu Installation :: 9.10 Refuses To Boot If USB External SATA Attached?

Jun 21, 2010

I have a 9.10 fully updated install on an old P4 HP desktop that otherwise runs flawlessly. We moved it to the bedroom to use as a media center and when I plug in a Thermolake toaster with a Hitachi 750G SATA drive it is recoginized and available no problem. I can read/write no problem. It works via nfs4 no problem. The issue is if I reboot while the drive is attached it the machine refuses to reboot and hangs on the initial hardware screen not even showing a grub screen. This has always been a native ubuntu machine with no dual boot or any weird grub2 issues previously. Interestingly, I am getting the exact same issue with another HP desktop (Celeron machine) with 9.10 Server 32bit that I' using as a home server. This is obviously a bigger problem because if the server updates or requires a reboot for any reason I can't just leave the drive attached. This drive houses our movie and music collection.

Ubuntu Installation :: Dual Boot Problems With X2 Sata Drives?

Apr 14, 2011

I have recently built a new system which has two internal sata drives. The plan was to install windows 7 one drive and ubuntu 10.10 on the second drive for KVM hosts. I started with the windows install which completed, then I went forward and installed ubuntu 10.10 64bit to my second drive (sdb). During the installation I chose to manually partition my drive. i partitoned the drive (sdb) as follows

/boot - 1gb
/ 40gb
swap 16gb
extended partion of 400gb

I then selected sdb to hold the boot record, as it was set by default to sda (my windows drive). The OS installed fine. I then went to reboot my system so go back into windows, by selecting the first drive in the bios. Once selected the system keeps booting into Ubuntu, no matter which drive I select. Now I checked the grub.cfg file and i see all references to hd1 there is no reference for windows found. I then proceeded to do 'sudo update grub2' this did not pickup any reference to my windows droive to add to the grub menu. When i select the ubuntu drive to boot fom my bios, i get no grub menu appaer it just boots quite happily into ubuntu. Can anyone please provide any resoloution to this, I can provide additonal outputs regarding my partion tables etc. later this evening when I get back from work.

Ubuntu Installation :: Unable To Dual Boot In 3 SATA Drives Setup

Jun 4, 2010

I have the following PC set up:
Dell 8400 with 3 GB of RAM with 3 160 GB SATA drives:
The first one has Windows XP installed on it.
The second one has been newly formatted and Ubuntu 10.04 has just been installed on it (20 GB / and 6 GB swap) with grub being installed on the first partition and not the master boot record. The remainder will be for storage for Windows.
The third drive is simply storage for Windows.

At this point I am able to boot XP just fine, but I'm not able to boot Linux. I just getting a blinking cursor or the PC just reboots when I choose Linux. I believe I have set up my boot.ini properly using:
C:Bootsectc.lnx="Linux Ubuntu"
After running dd if=/dev/sdc1 of=bootsect.lnx bs=512 count=1 and putting that file in place.

For reference, I don't believe this is a Linux problem, as much as I am simply trying to guide the ntldr to be properly pointed to a place where it can boot Linux. When I go into the bios and disable the first and the third hard drives, grub pops right up and I'm able to boot Linux with no problem, so that piece is fine. I think it's just now trying to get the correct syntax so I can boot Linux without having to disable drives and reenable them.

For kicks I even tried these syntax types in boot.ini:
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(1)partition(1)="Linux11"
(i.e. 2nd disk, 1st partition ...etc...)

I read many troubleshooting documents on dual booting and so forth but I just can't get this right. For reference, I stated the way XP views my Hard Drives in the intro, which seem to be a different order than Linux sees them, yet I believe I've tried all the combos of settings for this to work (yet clearly have not). I have attached the output of boot_info_script*.sh here: [URL]. Boot Info Script 0.55 dated February 15th, 2010 ..... Devices which don't seem to have a corresponding hard drive.

Ubuntu :: SATA II / Error "ata4: Limiting SATA Link Speed To 1.5 Gbps" - Allowing The SSD To Run At SATA II Speeds?

May 1, 2011

I keep getting this error in my log viewer every 2 seconds: Code: ata4: limiting SATA link speed to 1.5 Gbps I have a dual boot SSD and I have run many SMART tests in windows and linux, (using smartmon tools and the disk utility) and the reports are all 100% healthy..... My research shows that this error represents one of the following:

1. Problem with SATA controller
2. Changing BIOS to allow SATA
3. Changing SATA mode to PATA or AHCI
4. Replacing the SATA cable
5. Allowing the SSD to run at SATA II speeds, i.e. 3 Gbps

- Does anyone know how to try number 5, i.e. allowing the SSD to run at SATA II speeds? I am lost here and this problem has caused my machine to crash twice when watching a movie in linux/ ubuntu. (It is worth noting that the crashes have only occurred in linux and I have never had an issue in windows, so it does seem to be a linux setting somewhere, hence why I think it is a "allowing SATA II to run at correct speeds issue")

General :: Cannot Find Grldr In All Devices

Sep 17, 2010

I'm running wubi on XP machine. Started out originally with 8.04, and gradually upgraded to 10.04. Recently, I was creating linux bootable USB drive, and put it in my system to see if it would work. After booting the LiveOS, and rebooting my machine, I know get the error Cannot find grldr in all devices when booting Ubuntu. I don't know what grldr is, but I assume it is the GRUB Loader.

Did booting the LiveOS screw with my MBR perhaps?

How can I fix this, and if not, is it possible to reinstall wubi, without losing anything of what I have now?

Ubuntu :: SATA Libata Verses Silicom Images SATA Module

Jun 21, 2010

I installed Ubuntu 10.04, and happened to have an Silicom Images PCXpress card plugged in, and it kindly added the sil_sata module.This is fine for this chip set.I think that my earlier installation of Ubuntu 9.04 used Libata, which does support NCQ and also has good legacy support for the Intel Intel ICH7 chipset I have inside my Sony Vaio SZ notebook. Also, libata also support Silicon Image chipsets as far as I can tell from URL...I wish to remove the Silicom Images SATA modules and replace this with libata and then test the performance between the two device drivers.

Ubuntu :: Sata HD & IDE Dvd Wont Boot?

Jul 16, 2010

Just built a new machine, 500gb SATA hard disk and IDE DVD writer, all installed fine, did the updates, then on reboot the system hangs on detecting the IDE optical, wont boot unless I select safe mode. If I choose safe mode all works fine. If I unplug the optical drive everything works perfectly. I've changed everything in BIOS I can think of, Ive even tried putting another IDE device in and juggling master & slave on the IDE channel, no joy. I'm thinking the only way round this is to fit a SATA optical drive. It seems its getting confused when detecting the IDE device which device to boot from & ignoring SATA 0. In the post it detects the SATA devices, front panel USB's and SD card slots, then does a dercond detect for IDE devices where it hangs.

Hardware :: Can't Boot From SATA HD

Apr 27, 2011

I have an old system with an ASUS A7V8X motherboard, and 2 SATA PCI cards with three SATA drives attached and 1 SATA CD-ROM. I can boot a livecd and install Ubuntu to the SATA HD, but when I reboot after installing, I get a blank screen with a flashing cursor.

Is there a way that I can burn a CD that will just boot from a particular hard drive? I think some older Linux distros used to give you an option like that (maybe Slackware?)

Ubuntu :: Boot Fails With Second SATA Drive Connected / Fix It?

Feb 23, 2011

Having an issue I've been unable to resolve for for a week now. I've 2 drives, SATA1 for OS and operating files, SATA2 for media storage. came home last week to an update manager window present and error in Transmission stating unable to second drive due to "Read Only" status. the drive was never set to read only status but following the update manager a reboot was needed. once rebooted, the GRUB menu came up (dual boot system), selected Ubuntu then booting stopped. blank black screen with blinking cursor. rebooted several times, checked bios recognition of both drives, replaced cables, switched power to drive to separate cables, used different SATA ports but nothing worked. finally removed the second media storage drive and Ubuntu booted normally. now any time i connect the second drive and reboot it fails to boot into ubuntu or XP. i removed the media drive and installed it in another computer and it worked normally. have searched everything i can but no answers have been found so far. wondering if anyone here has had similar trouble or has idea for what to try.

I'm using Ubuntu 10.04 64 bit with current 3.6.32-28 kernel

General :: Boot From Disk With Both USB And SATA

Aug 17, 2010

I have a SSD Harddisk with both an usb and Sata connection, and I want to be able to boot both from usb and sata but I can't make it work. When the disk is connected with sata anything works fine but when I connect it with usb instead, Fedora seems to boot but then it gives me an "No root device found" error and just sleep forever. This happens even if I install fedora 13 while the disk is connected with usb. I am running Fedora Core 13. I changed my fstab to
/dev/sda2 / ext4 defaults 1 1

And the disk is still booting when connected to the sata controller. So far so good. But if I boot from the usb connection, it still give me the same "No root device found" message. Even more odd is it that if I boot my fedora core 13 dvd, and choose "rescue installed system" it can't detect the harddisk when connected to usb. And there is no /dev/sd* or anything similarly which could look like a blockdevice. Did redhat forget to include usb drivers in their rescue image for Fedora core? I just tried the disk on an other system, with exactly the same problems.

I have now added the LABEL=myroot line to fstab(I guess it have to be uppercase to work) and the harddisk still boot fine when using sata, but it still can't boot using usb. I begin to guess that redhat forgot some usb drivers In fedora Core 13, because the system can't see the harddisk when booting the dvd and entering rescue mode. blkid don't show any harddisks at all and there are no block devices in /dev/ which might be my usb disk. Is it possible to find the uuid of partitions if id add the usb harddisk to a windows computer, and more important: will this be the same uuid as linux will se.

Ubuntu / Apple :: 10.04 Server On G4 Boot From Sonnet SATA PCI Card

Sep 17, 2010

I have a mac G4 Gigabit Ethernet, with 400MHz processor. I was running the Hardy version of Ubuntu Server last year, although I was booting from the onboard ATA controller. I just added a 2-port Sonnet SATA card and a single 250G SATA drive, and removed all the ATA gear. I installed 10.04 Server, and via guided partitioning wiped the 250G SATA drive, and installed yaboot. When I try to boot from the 250G SATA it hangs up at the "Mac Smiley <-> ?" Icon after the second stage bootstrap prompt, and then cycles.

I looked at some other threads, in fact read this about 4 times and got some good hints: [URL]. I can boot with a live 10.04 desktop CD, and mount the linux partition and look at yaboot.conf:
Code:
fdisk -l
/dev/sda
# type name length base ( size ) system
/dev/sda1 Apple_partition_map Apple 63 @ 1 ( 31.5k) Partition map
/dev/sda2 Apple_Bootstrap untitled 2048 @ 2048 ( 1.0M) NewWorld
bootblock .....

Then I did:
Code:
sudo mkdir /mnt/linux
mount /dev/sda3 /mnt/linux .....

I also tried to get some details on my PCI SATA card via "lspci". How to get this to boot? I haven't quite given up on this older G4 box. It will make a great SSH server and home automation box if I can just smoove out this wrinkle.

11.2 and 11.3 worked on this machine with no problems. Am i missing something? I also tried an Ubuntu install and this worked fine!
