Binary package hint: grub2
Description: Ubuntu 10.10
Release: 10.10
grub2:
Installed: (none)
Candidate: 1.98+20100804-5ubuntu3
Version table:
1.98+20100804-5ubuntu3 0
500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ maverick/universe i386 Packages
I expected to be able to boot from my linux boot entry.
What happened:
I partitioned my system as follows in the LiveCD installer...
/dev/sdc3 is my / partition
/dev/sdc4 is my /boot partition
When the system boots I get the error message "file not found" and land the grub rescue cli.
ls (hd0,4)/ -> boot directory
ls (hd0,3)/ -> root directory
The prefix environment variable is shown as being incorrect:
prefix=(hd0,3)/boot/grub
In order to fix from rescue mode I've had to do the following:
set prefix=(hd0,4)/grub
set root=(hd0,3)/
insmod linux
normal
From there I am able to boot linux...but I have not been able to figure out how to have the prefix environment variable stick. The installer should get this correct!
Please fix this problem. What other info can I give you to assist in solving this problem? |
