Grub problem

http://ubuntuforums.org – After I installed mythbuntu 12.0.4.1 to a usb drive I was getting error out of disk and no suitable mode found. After showing these errors for a few minutes it would finish booting. I read that if I uncommented GRUB_TERMINAL=console in /etc/default/grub and ran sudo update-grub that should fix the error. Well now it won't boot to mythtv at all. It just boots to a grub prompt. From there I can do: set root=(hd0,1) linux /vmlinuz root=/dev/sda1 ro acpi=off noapic initrd /initrd.img boot and it boots up although I cannot select 1080p as a resolution when I believe it was running at that (Hardware)

Stories similar to Grub problem

My laptop dual-boots Windows 7 & Ubuntu. Recently I added a logical partition and installed Backtrack. So now I'm triple-booting.

Although I have several kernel versions in /boot and having them in my grub.cfg, they are not displayed in the grub boot menu.

Running update-grub seems to work, as it puts the kernels in the grub.cfg in /boot/grub.

I installed Crunchbang today with the intention of dual booting, but Windows is not in my GRUB menu...I've looked around and tried some things, but GRUB still isn't seeing Windows. Here are some commands I've run:user@crunchbox:~$ sudo os-prober grub-probe: error: cannot find a GRUB drive for /dev/sdb1.

I installed lubuntu 12.04 on this machine, an old Thinkpad T30, alongside Windows XP. Since I can't access Quickbooks through lubuntu, the machine being too slow to run a virtual machine reliably, I used grub-customizer to move XP to the top of the grub list, and set the save-default option. Now, any time update-grub runs, I get this error:

Code: Installation finished.

I have one Ubuntu 13.04 and one Win7 on my system, but grub seems to be detecting them multiple times for some reason (see below) and I end up with two Ubuntus on my grub menu.

Greetings,

I am loading Linux (Debian Lenny) on VirtualBox but there is apparently something wrong with the GRUB. When I start the system, a grub menu appears:

Then I run the following commands:

root (hd0,0) kernel /vmlinuz root=/dev/hda1 ro quiet initrd /initrd.img boot

After the system boots, how should I continue to repair the grub file? Any advice would be appreciated!

I cant start Grub Customizer in ubuntu 12.04 after updating the kernel:

exception '15AssertException' with message 'found unexpected file on path: /etc/grub.d/10_linux' in /build/buildd/grub-customizer-3.0.2/src/Model/ListCfg.cpp:916

Also update-grub command shows two identical kernels:

Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-3.2.0-36-generic Found initrd image: /boot/initrd.img-3.2.0-36-generic Foun

Hi I got three harddrives two 250gb and a 500gb and yesterday I installed windows on a raid 0 with my two 250gbs and today I installed Ubuntu on my 500gb drive but grub ain't showing the windows as a boot option, I've tried sudo update-grub2 but it just lists the regular :

Generating grub.cfg ... Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-3.0.0-16-generic Found initrd image: /boot/initrd.img-3.0.0-16-gener
