I installed 2 times xubuntu trusty in a machine with UEFI disabled, windows 7 dual boot in a MBR disk, and in the 2 times it does not install grub correctly. In the firt time, it goes direct to windows 7 boot. In the second time, i got an error, like this:
error: file '/boot/grub/i386-pc/normal.mod' not found.
Entering rescue mode...
grub rescue>
I used Boot Repair, and i had to run some commands in terminal:
sudo chroot "/mnt/boot-sav/sda5" dpkg --configure -a
sudo chroot "/mnt/boot-sav/sda5" apt-get install -fy
sudo chroot "/mnt/boot-sav/sda5" apt-get purge -y --force-yes grub* shim-signed linux-signed*
[...]
The following packages will be REMOVED:
grub-common* grub-efi-amd64* grub-efi-amd64-bin* grub-efi-amd64-signed*
grub2-common* linux-signed-generic* linux-signed-image-3.13.0-1-generic*
linux-signed-image-generic* shim-signed*
sudo chroot "/mnt/boot-sav/sda5" apt-get install -y --force-yes grub-pc linux
[...]
The following extra packages will be installed:
grub-common grub-gfxpayload-lists grub-pc-bin grub2-common
And now it is bootable.
So... why there was installed grub-efi and linux-signed, if this machine has EFI disabled? I don't sure if it is related to the problem. But i can reproduce this problem.
