error: out of disk on loading linux.mod

linux-howto

http://www.linuxquestions.org – I'm not sure if this is a GRUB issue or a Ubuntu issue, so posting it here and hoping it's the right place. I recently (ie, within the last few days) installed Ubuntu 9.10 64-bit on my system. When I rebooted, I got: Grub loading... error: out of disk grub_rescue> Searching on the error message, I found some different workarounds - commenting out "if [ -n \${have_grubenv} ]; then save_env recordfail; fi" in /etc/grub.d/10_linux, and uncommenting "GRUB_DISABLE_LINUX_UUID=true" in /etc/default/grub - but neither worked. Not on their own and not together. Following the instructions here, I get the 'error: out of disk', when I try to load the linux.mod (insmod /boot/grub/linux.mod). I downloaded the super grub disk, and that worked. I can load up my system using that, but simply copying the boot commands from that can't be the ideal solution, can it? Any thoughts or ideas are greatly appeciated. (HowTos)

Grub2 boot entries don't change 3 years 15 weeks ago

My grub2 boot entries never change. I have run sudo update-grub and it finds all the proper kernels and such and says that it has updated. I check with the menu.lst and grub.cfg and they both look to be correct, however, when I go to boot I am stuck with my old boot entries.

Hello all!

I stumbled across this today and it is exactly what I have been looking for!

I have been able to get a few of my desired tools working 100% (dban, gparted, ophcrack, UBCD) but what I would ultimatly hope to get working is CloneZilla!
