Grub Error 15 Live Cd
Contents |
This is a post for anyone who, like me, has been doing web searches to find out what might be the problem if your Linux machine displays GRUB Error 15 on error 15 file not found linux booting. Or who has general GRUB issues to debug. My problem was Error error 15 file not found linux redhat 15, which indicates that GRUB cannot find one of the files it needs. If you get it while setting up GRUB, error 15 file not found centos it's often fairly easy to find out what's wrong. But if GRUB thinks it's installed OK, and you then reboot, you can still get this message but without any further information to help

you debug it. To cut a long story short, the issue for me was that the BIOS (and GRUB while booting), saw my two hard disks in a different order from the way the kernel saw them after booting. So my assumptions that /dev/sda was the same as (hd0) was invalid. Finding this out took a very long time, though, because, for reasons too complex to go error 15 file not found windows 7 into here, I was booting this server not from a regular CD but from an emulated CD the other side of the Atlantic. Things became a lot faster when I found this section in the GRUB documentation which explained how to make a bootable CD ISO image with GRUB on it. To save you the trouble, here's one: GRUB Bootable CD ISO image I could mount this and use the GRUB console command line to find out what was wrong. It's worth exploring the GRUB console, if you haven't already. It can do things like filename completion when you press TAB, and can even display the contents of text files using, for example, cat (hd0,0)/boot/grub/menu.lst In my case I found that the BIOS of the machine allowed me to choose the boot order of the hard disks, and swapping them there was the easiest solution.

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 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?

DoctorBeaver I was installing Ubuntu from CD and we had a powercut while the installation was in progress. Now, when I try to boot it says "Grub loading 1.5 please wait..." then a couple of seconds later I get "Error 15" and nothing else happens. I tried to install again from scratch but although the CD drive is accessed I get exactly the same error. Basically, I'm stuffed. Any ideas? I've got USB memory sticks, an external hard drive, external CD/DVD drive (which I've tried but got the same error) and an SDHC memory card available if any of those could offer a solution. AftershockVibe You could try the steps here after booting from the install CD: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=224351 DoctorBeaver AftershockVibe wrote: You could try the steps here after booting from the install CD: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=224351 It won't boot from the install disk. With or without the disk I get error 15. malcolmpreen I had a similar sounding problem a while back.... can't remember the exact error... but I know I couldn't boot from the hard disk, or the ubuntu install media. I was able to switch into debug mode (from grub I think.... but I'm not 100% sure) and that was suggesting that I had a problem which needed fscking.... Fine I thought.... if only I could boot somehow.... Anyway.... long story short.... I happened to have a Fedora 10 installation DVD.... I was able to boot that OK.... enter rescue mode.... and fsck the ubuntu disk.... following that... everything was good. For the record, my Ubuntu was 8.04 - if I remember I tried booting from 8.04 and 8.10 with no luck. Best of luck... in theory... assuming you have a way to get it.... any other distribution installation MIGHT be worth a go.... Malcolm DoctorBeaver Malcolm - thanks for that. I'll give it a try. Anything is worth a try because the PC is totally useless at the moment. AftershockVibe Sorry DoctorBeaver, I thought Quote: I tried to install again from scratch but although the CD drive is accessed I get exactly the same error. meant that it failed after the install.
