http://ubuntuforums.org – I am trying to get ubuntu to boot from USB from an intel mac with efi loader, traditionally not possible. By adding a recomiled grub2 into /efi/boot/bootx64.efi I can now get it to happily load up any iso that I leave in that folder named boot.iso. This is great, but I can't get it to have perseverence in iso form. If I rename the iso and drop a grub.cfg in there the grub in the bootx64.efi reads and displays it, so I can't see any reason why I can't now install ubuntu onto the drive using unetbootin (set with perseverance ) than alter than grub config to boot my linux image - but I'm ha (Hardware)

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.

Hello, I have succesfully installed Ubuntu 12.10 x64 in my new Asus laptop ( with Windows 8 preinstalled. After the boot I can't boot in Windows 8 and I run Boot Repair. Now I can boot in Windows 8 but there are many entries in my grub.

I installed 12.04 through a USB drive and when it's done I can't load Windows 7 (Loader)(on/dev/sda1) in GRUB.

I installed grub2-bios into partition ,instead of MBR.I removed /boot/grub directory before the upgrade just in case# chattr -i /boot/grub/core.img # rm -rf /boot/grub/ # pacman -Syu # modprobe dm-modAfter grub2-bios and grub2-common have been upgraded , I ran# grub-install --directory=/usr/lib/grub/i386-pc --target=i386-pc --boot-directory=/boot --recheck --force --debug /dev/sda1 # chattr +i /bo

Got this message doing upgrade from 11.10 server to 12.04 server. No idea what to do... any tips? --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The GRUB boot loader was previously installed to a disk that is no longer present, or whose unique identifier has changed for some reason.

Hi, I recently managed to install arch linux on mac 6,2 and then installed the grub efi x86_64 boot loader.

wolfcore wrote:Before rebooting, during the configuration of grub, I moved /boot/grub/ to /boot/efi/grub, because that was my efi-directory:Move back the directory to /boot/grub. /boot/efi/grubx64.efi is configured to look into /boot/grub (or rather <ESP>/grub, rather than <ESP>/efi/grub).

[ubuntu] GRUB issues.... 31 weeks 2 days ago

Hey, everyone. I currently have a dual-boot setup with Windows 7 and Ubuntu 12.04

Whenever I start my computer after booting windows previously I'm presented with a different GRUB than usual. I recently downloaded and installed linux kernel 3.6.0 and made some changes to GRUB using GRUB customizer. So I have been doing some tweaking with those files.

The tools used to boot Linux are changing. Specifically, the Grand Unified Bootloader (GRUB) is now officially in maintenance mode only, and GRUB's developers have abandoned the original GRUB in favor of an entirely rewritten package, known as GRUB 2.
