[all variants] Boot to grub rescue

linux-howto

http://ubuntuforums.org – Hello hello ! So after an install of Ubuntu, Lubuntu and a switch to pure Lubuntu, I take out the Boot CD. Booting to CD is my 3rd boot option, my second is a hard disk with free space, the 1st is the harddisk option I use to boot. Problem is, upon starting, its goes straight to "Grub Rescue" and doesn't boot to Lubuntu. To make it boot, I need to press F11 and manually pick where to boot. Any idea to how to prevent the computer from going to this grub rescue screen ? Thanks ! Jo (Hardware)

Server 12.04 boots to Grub CLI 51 weeks 4 days ago

Yesterday, I rebooted the server and it booted up to grub. Screen says 'Minimal BASH-like .... etc'. I've tried booting to the Server rescue mode from the install disk and tried reinstalling grub. I've tried the Boot Rescue Disk, still doesn't boot. I can get in and see all my files via the server rescue mode, but grub will not boot anything. No menu comes up, just the grub cli.

I have a bit of an unusual problem. I've installed lubuntu 12.10 AMD64 on my system, placing / and /boot on an SSD and the rest on a hard disk. Everything except /boot is encrypted. All was well until the SSD started producing I/O errors.

My computer does not have a working CD rom drive, so I had booted from USB (used UNetbootin to make the USB) to install Ubuntu initially. I had Ubuntu working on my laptop (Gateway 7330gz), started messing around with it, and decided I wanted to start fresh again.

So I have 2 hard drives a HDD 320GB and a SSD 20GB. Before I had Windows 7 on the HDD and Ubuntu on the SSD but wanted to get rid of windows and reinstall a clean Ubuntu on the SSD then use the HDD for storage.

So I deleted everything from the HDD and set up the SSD with 18GB ext4 and 2GB Swap and installed Ubuntu on the 18GB ext4.

This is my situation:

I Installed Ubuntu without a CD (using A USB) Dual boot installation (Windows 7+Ubuntu) I did not like the installation and decided to boot into Windows and delete the Linux partitions, but I forgot to fix the mbr from within Windows.

Now, when I boot, I am stuck in the GRUB rescue limbo.

Reinstall GRUB Opensuse 11.3 2 years 43 weeks ago

How can I reinstall grub in opensuse 11.3? If I use the rescue option during the DVD boot, i get straight into command line. I can't mount my partition. In RHEL, i just type "linux rescue" and then when it boots, chroot /mnt/sysimage and then do what i want to do. No such option that I saw.

I installed Ubuntu 12.04 in my computer without problems, but after rebooting i got the following error:
