Stories similar to Power failure - boot hangs (init runlevel or Entering non-interactive startup)

Inadvertently posted in old thread. Sorry.

Lenovo Thinkpad E520 about 14 months old, Kubuntu 12.04 LTS, all current patches. Dual-boot Win7.

Intermittently goes into grub rescue at boot time. Message "partition not found". It does this maybe 5% of times on power-up. After a few power-down, power-up sequences, the problem goes away...

GRUB rescue 48 weeks 1 day ago

I had a dual boot with win 7, Ubuntu, and Linux mint. I deleted the two partitions for Linux and Ubuntu and extended the windows partition back into the unallocated space.

I am trying to restore RHEL OS (5.3.1.1) from network, where we have VLANs configured on our switches. So the only way to get to shared folder on remote server with backup image is to configure VLAN.

I booted a machine with Red Hat Recovery CD and ran linux rescue. But in this mode there is no VLAN support.

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.

How can I boot into Windows from GRUB rescue?

I cannot boot from CD because I don't

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.

Grub Rescue: no such partition 3 years 27 weeks ago

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.

Linux Rescue / LiveCD Freeze 3 years 27 weeks ago

hey,

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.
