A while ago, after no updates/changes that I was aware of, my system stopped booting, and gave me: Code: GRUB Loading stage1_5 GRUB Loading, please wait Error 15 The error is in stage 1.5, not stage2, as there is no more info on screen. However, the grub manual tells us that stage 1.5 errors have the same explanations as stage2, and error 15 is "File http://forums.justlinux.com/showthread.php?154371-Grub-Error-15-(SOLVED) not found". Presumably, Grub couldn't find stage2. However, after booting with a Grub CD, a quick check shows that the stage2 and all other stuff normally present is there. Furthermore, boot_info_script says all is hunky-dory, Code: Grub Legacy (v0.97) is installed in the MBR of /dev/sda and looks on the same drive in partition #1 for /boot/grub/stage2 and /boot/grub/menu.lst. Grub Legacy (v0.97) is installed in the boot sector of sda1 and looks at sector 17179431 of the same hard drive for the stage2 file. A stage2 file is at this location on /dev/sda. Stage2 looks on partition #1 for /boot/grub/menu.lst. Checked that menu.lst and fstab were ok. Furthermore, using the Grub CD I could boot sda1 by using the chainloader +1 command, and using the configfile command brought up the sda1 menu screen in all its multiple-choice glory. So presumably something is corrupt in the MBR. Easily fixed, I thought, just start up with the Grub CD, and enter Code: root (hd0,0) setup (hd0) Grub happily executed this, reported no errors. Only problem, the system still wouldn't boot normally. Re-installed Grub using apt-get, and ran grub-install. Not fixed. Perhaps sda1 has a corrupted filesystem? Ran e2fsck: no change. Ran setup again to make the MBR look at a different partition for stage2 and menu.lst. Still no joy. Tried running the find command from the Grub CD. Not one of the twenty-plus

(I setup the partitions manually, not with the auto configure)So, I just mounted /dev/sda1 in archlive, error 15 and grub/menu.lst contains this:root (hd0,0) kernel /boot/vmlinuz26 root=/dev/disk/by-uuid/3525ec64-d3dc-4bec-b9d2-172633f4a3a4 ro initrd /boot/kernel26.imgBut, I get this error message in grub:root (hd0,0) Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83 kernel /boot/vmlinuz26 Error 15: File not found Press any key to continue...Any ideas? I know it has to be something small...Also, a side question, why format /boot as ext2 instead of say something like ext3? What does ext2 have grub error 15 over ext3?♦ Last edited by Ek0nomik (2008-10-03 22:06:19) Offline #2 2008-10-03 18:30:26 Ek0nomik Member From: Wisconsin Registered: 2008-05-01 Posts: 7 Re: [SOLVED] Grub Error 15: File Not Found One more thing, when I go into grub and type:root (hd0,0)and root (hd0,1)they both return the same thing:Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83.Since one is ext2, and the other ext3, shouldn't it say something different?

Grub sees both as ext2.As to the problem at hand: If the UUID points to your boot partition there is no need to have /boot in front of the kernel/initrd. This makes it look for a /boot directory inside of the /boot partition, which obviously doesn't exist.So it should just read:root (hd0,0) kernel /vmlinuz26 root=/dev/disk/by-uuid/3525ec64-d3dc-4bec-b9d2-172633f4a3a4 ro initrd /kernel26.img Last edited by SkonesMickLoud (2008-10-03 19:1

Can't boot up vote 2 down vote favorite I made a partition with Windows disk management (40GB) for the purpose of installing Ubuntu. It worked fine and I saw it next to the C drive so I turned of the computer and grabbed my USB with Ubuntu on (ubuntu-12.10-desktop-i386) and I used LinuxLive to make the USB Ubuntu "ready" (LinuxLive USB Creator 2.8.19) I got everything working and all but Then I was going to start my laptop again (The same one that I made a partition on) but after the Dell logo I got this Message: "GRUB Loading stage1.5. GRUB loading, please wait... Error 15" I thought that it was strange that I couldn't boot my windows so I look in the boot options (F12 on my dell) but I could only find a Legacy boot list and other options, I couldn't choose which partition I wanted to boot so I tried to reboot the computer with my Ubuntu USB. FYI I didn't put anything on the new made partition, I've only tried Ubuntu in vmWare player. I got thru the setup and I choose to delete the 40gig partition I made and created a new one with Ubuntu. I thought everything was fine so I restarted the computer (when the setup told me to) and removed the usb. But then I booted my computer I still hade the same Error :/ boot grub2 partitioning share|improve this question edited Feb 4 '13 at 23:24 gertvdijk 38k1598171 asked Feb 4 '13 at 22:09 Oskar 113 1 Welcome to Ask Ubuntu!
