[SOLVED] Grub Error 2 while trying to boot into Gentoo MorradOctober 11th, 2008, 05:00 AMHey everyone. I
Error 15 File Not Found Press Any Key To Continue
wanted to try out Gentoo to see what all the fuss was error 15 file not found grub windows 7 about, so I've installed it on a separate partition, and edited my menu.lst file within my Ubuntu partition. error 15 file not found linux The goal is to use configfile to launch Gentoo's grub.conf file, and launch it from there. Here is how the relavent partitions are set up: /dev/sda2 ubuntu (flagged bootable) https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/GRUB_Error_Reference /dev/sda4 gentoo (tried boot flagged/unflagged) Within grub, booting gentoo: title Gentoo Linux configfile (hd0,3)/boot/grub/grub.conf With this, I'm getting "Grub Error 2: Bad file or directory type" when selecting that option. I've also tried using the interactive mode in grub, and it gives the same error for trying to autocomplete "configfile (hd0,3)/". Anyone have any idea what could be https://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-944088.html causing this? I haven't seen anything on the web or any forums. trimetaOctober 11th, 2008, 05:19 AMI've never used "configfile" in Grub, so no idea here. PatbOctober 11th, 2008, 10:27 AMMorrad, could you please boot into your ubuntu system, open a terminal and post the output of the following commands: sudo fdisk -l sudo blkid tail -n 40 /boot/grub/menu.lst cat /boot/grub/configfile That should provide information which will enable someone to help you. You may possibly have to get into your Gentoo partition for further information but we'll come to that. By the way, a very useful Australian wrote a very useful Guide to Grub (http://users.bigpond.net.au/hermanzone/p15.htm). Cheers, Pat.

After upgrading, I have no "grub" command, only grub-install and some other. Running grub-install works, but after reboot, I get the grub shell, not the grub menu. –Tommy Jakobsen Nov 8 '09 at 19:00 the grub version in ubuntu is a beta version,try looking for it on grub's website –Mahmoud Hossam Nov 9 '09 at 1:13 add a comment| up vote 1 down vote I'm attempting to do the same thing (dual boot Windows 7 and Gentoo) and I am having similar problems. My GRUB bootloader looks practically identical to yours (except for a splash image) When I try to load Windows, I get the "BOOTMGR is missing" error.
