Cannot boot. Is the recordfail thing the problem again?

view story
linux-howto

http://askubuntu.com – It is the third time I cannot boot this system (Natty with Grub2 in a dual boot macbookpro). I guess it is, again, due to a problem with the recordfail thing and the grubenv file that gets corrupted or who knows what, but it only bothers from time to time. I can boot any iso file in the filesystem using grub2's menu, but I cannot boot the properly installed system. What can I do? And, then, how can I stop the system from letting me without being able to boot due to stupid recordfail management. Thank you. (HowTos)

Going through LFS 7.3 and about ready to make it bootable but Fedora's grub is giving me issue.

The plan was to share /boot between LFS and Fedora 18 as I have done in the past (been awhile since I ran LFS - LFS 4.something last time). Hell, I've shared /boot between Fedora, CentOS, Ubuntu, and LFS.

I accidentally deleted every thing from grub2 customizer including command line everything now i cannot boot in fedora 17 please help i can only boot into recovery mode and tried following chroot /mnt/sysimage grub2-install /dev/sda grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg

Hi all,

I finish installed Ubuntu 12.04 into my IdeaPad Y480 via normal boot and not UEFI.

I have a Compaq SR5130NX (originally Win7) which was given to us with no HDD. I installed a Seagate 40G hdd in the machine and installed 12.04 from the Live CD. No install errors reported. After install the computer will not boot - we get a Read Error.

Tested the HDD with SeaTools (DOS), drive looks good. Erased HDD and reinstalled 12.04.

Hi, I have a strange problem with regards to the system time.

I am situated in Mumbai, India, which is +5.30 hours time zone (no daylight savings). I have windows xp installed on one hard drive and Ubuntu 12.10 installed on the other hard drive (installed each OS disconnecting the other hard drive; Use the boot menu using F12 to boot into each OS).

Grub2 cannot find config file 43 weeks 5 days ago

I recently upgraded my system from Fedora 14 to 16 by http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Upgrad...dora_using_yum . All went quite smoothly except for one very odd problem. As you know this upgrade switches from grub to grub2. I created /boot/grub2/grub2.cfg with grub2-mkconfig and ran grub2-install without encountering any errors but when I restart I am taken to the grub prompt.

Hi everyone. I have an 80 MB /boot partition, which is obviously a problem. I'd like to move the contents of that partition into the /boot directory on my root partition, and change my boot process to no longer mount the /boot partition and instead boot from my root partition.
