reading the lengthy exchange at http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=120802 I suspect, initrd, the ram disk grub error 22 boot loader[1], was assembled at grub-install time with a map of devices different from that at boot time.

Linux LiveCD (Debian Install CD1) I've recently broke my grub untentianally while whiping out one of my disk partitions who was prepared to run a hackintosh. Thus yesterday while switching on my notebook I was unpleasently surprised with an error Grub Error 17 and the boot process was hanging before it would even get to grub's OS select menu. That was nasty and gave me a big headache, since I wasn't even sure if my partitions are still present. What made things even worse that I haven't created any backups preliminary to prepare for an emergency! Thus restoring my system was absolutely compulsory at any cost. In recovering the my grub boot manager I have used as a basis of my recovery an article called How to install Grub from a live Ubuntu cd Though the article is quite comprehensive, it's written a bit foolish, probably because it targets Ubuntu novice users 🙂 Another interesting article that gave me a hand during solving my issues was HOWTO: install grub with a chroot Anyways, My first unsuccessful attempt was following a mix of the aforementioned articles and desperately trying to chroot to my mounted unbootable partition in order to be able to rewrite the grub loader in my MBR. The error that slap me in my face during chroot was: chroot: cannot execute /bin/sh : exec format error Ghh Terrible … After reasoning on the shitty error I came to the conclusion that probably the livecd I'm trying to chroot to my debian linux partition is probably using a different incompatible version of glibc , if that kind of logic is true I concluded that it's most likely that the glibc on my Linux system is newer (I came to that assumption because I was booting from livecds (Elive, Live CentOS as well Sabayon Linux, which were burnt about two years ago). To proof my guesses I decided to try using Debian testing Squeeze/Sid install cd . That is the time to mention that I'm running Debian testing/unstable under the code name (Squeeze / Sid). I downloaded the Debian testing amd64 last
