grub2 error : out of disk
- by Nostradamnit
Hi everyone,
I recently install ArchBang on a machine with Ubuntu and XP. I ran update-grub from Ubuntu and it found the new install and created an entry. However, when I try to boot it, I get:
error: out of disk
error: you need to load kernel first
I've tried several things, including adding a new entry in 40_custom, but nothing changes.
Here are the entries I have:
default found by update-grub
### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober ###
menuentry "ArchBang Linux (on /dev/sda4)" {
insmod part_msdos
insmod ext2
set root='(hd0,msdos4)'
search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set 75f96b44-3a8f-4727-9959-d669b9244f2a
linux /boot/vmlinuz26 root=/dev/sda4 rootfstype=ext4 ro xorg=vesa quiet nomodeset swapon
initrd /boot/kernel26.img
}
menuentry "ArchBang Linux Fallback (on /dev/sda4)" {
insmod part_msdos
insmod ext2
set root='(hd0,msdos4)'
search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set 75f96b44-3a8f-4727-9959-d669b9244f2a
linux /boot/vmlinuz26 root=/dev/sda4 rootfstype=ext4 ro xorg=vesa quiet nomodeset swapon
initrd /boot/kernel26-fallback.img
}
### END /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober ###
custom entry in 40_custom based on various ideas found on the internets
menuentry "ArchBang Linux (on /dev/sda4)" {
insmod part_msdos
insmod ext2
set root='(hd0,msdos4)'
search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set 75f96b44-3a8f-4727-9959-d669b9244f2a
linux /boot/vmlinuz26 root=/dev/disk/by-uuid/75f96b44-3a8f-4727-9959-d669b9244f2a rootfstype=ext4 ro xorg=vesa quiet nomodeset swapon
initrd /boot/kernel26.img
}
I think the problem has something to do with the sda4 not being mounted at boot-time...
Thanks in advance for you help,
Sam
