Registered: 2012-03-18 Posts: 6 Error 15: File not found [SOLVED] Hello Archers,This is my first installation of Arch. The system was up, until a recent update (pacman -Syu). Now I get the following error at boot:root (hd0,0)Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type error 15 file not found grub 0x83kernal /vmlinuz_linux root=/dev/disk/by-uuid/32fb...Error 15: File not foundI used Arches autopartition function, to the root partition

is sda3, the boot partition is sda1. The uuid in the root= line points to sda3, which is a jfs filesystem.I've tried
Error 15 File Not Found Windows 7
editing the grub/menu.lst file, trying different root partitions. None allow arch to boot. There is an sdb partition with a Windows recovery OS.Any ideas? Thank you in advance for helping. Last edited by kjonas (2012-03-22 21:00:37) Offline

I just need to be able to get into Arch Linux. Last night I installed Arch onto my computer via netinstall and it all went smoothly, but when I went to reboot... it loaded up the GRUB menu and it listed Arch Linux, but when I select it, I get "Error 15: File not found." I've been googling and trying various way to fix this problem but I always get the same error.

I'm running this existing distro (Ubuntu) from /dev/sdb with a new OS, Gentoo, installed on /dev/sda. I'm glad I took the trouble of setting these up on different disks because I can't boot into the new OS. All I get is grub error 15 "File not found". It also gives the UUID which I have verified is correct: sudo blkid error 15 file /dev/sda1: LABEL="boot" UUID="b891774a-0b2d-4ab4-bcfa-23a11a97cae5" TYPE="ext2" /dev/sda2: UUID="fc34999a-e85d-4c7b-8775-30510eb4c396" TYPE="swap" /dev/sda3: LABEL="main" UUID="65a90a0d-a651-4215-8552-0c1859ab61dd" TYPE="ext4" The menu.lst (on /dev/sdb) for the new OS is title Gentoo Linux 3.10.7-r1 uuid b891774a-0b2d-4ab4-bcfa-23a11a97cae5 #root (hd0,0) kernel /kernel-3.10.7-gentoo root=UUID=65a90a0d-a651-4215-8552-0c1859ab61dd I also tried kernel /boot/kernel-3.10.7-gentoo root=UUID=65a90a0d-a651-4215-8552-0c1859ab61dd but since the UUID goes directly to the boot partition I think this is wrong. The kernel should be correct; if I mount dev/sda1 and ls I see grub kernel-3.10.7-gentoo Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? It might be very basic; I've only been using Linux for a few years and never Gentoo except for a few days in a chroot. I should mention I also have grub2 installed on dev/sda1 though I don't get as far there: it just shows the grub 'command line'. ubuntu grub2 gentoo grub-legacy share|improve this question edited Apr 18 '14 at 14:23 asked Apr 18 '14 at 3:21 Charles 147113 In which order did you installed gentoo/ubuntu? –Braiam Apr 26 '14 at 3:24 @Braiam: I installed Ubuntu first (years ago) and I've been trying to get Gentoo working for a few months now. It runs fine in a chroot but I can't get it to boot, either from its own grub2 or from Ubuntu's grub-legacy. –Charles Apr 26 '14 at 23:57 add a comment| 4 Answers 4 active oldest votes up vote 2 down vote accepted I agree to the points about the error by @rMist
