Environment SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 Service Pack 1SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 Service Pack 2 Situation After an online update error 15 file not found grub fails with:Error 17: Cannot mount selected partition Resolution Solution: For systems running SLES11SP1 or immediate action to get the system back online please see the workaround below. On systems running SLES11SP2 update perl-Bootloader to version 0.4.89.44-0.4.2.1 or later. Workaround:Press enter to get back into the grub menu, press "e" on the default boot entry (usually the first in the list), select the line root (hd0) and press "e" again. Change root (hd0) to the desired value (e.g. if the root device is /dev/sda1, the location would be hd0,0) and press enter. Check the changes on the screen for correctness and press "b" to boot.Once the system is online, please adjust /boot/grub/menu.lst and change all root (hd0) entries to their correct values. Cause After the update /boot/grub/menu.lst contains root (hd0)for the default boot entry but should contain root (hdx,y)instead.

This get the system to boot. Now I need to fix it. Not sure why this happened in the first place.

I put into a USB case and now I want to use that for a Debian system. I do not want to install grub on my laptops HDD, if http://linux.bigresource.com/Debian-Installation-Booting-from-USB-HDD-Error-17-Cannot-mount-selected-partition-bzCzLHcB7.html I do I need to have the USB HDD plugged in everytime I boot and i find that a real pain. I installed Debian on the USB drive with no problem and when it asked where http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/18195/how-to-make-grub-work-again-after-drive-reassignment I wanted to install GRUB I picked the USB drive ( I think ). Now when I interupt the boot and tell it to boot from the USB drive grub comes up with the correct menu error 17 but when I pick Debian I get the following messages: Booting 'Debian GNU/Linux Kernel 2.6.26-2-amd64' root (hd1,0) Filesystem type unknown partition type 0xde kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.26-2-amd64 root=/dev/sdb1 ro quiet Error 17: Cannot mount selected partition View 7 Replies Similar Messages: Fedora Installation :: Error 17 Cannot Mount Selected Partition Ubuntu Installation :: Error 17 Can Not Mount Selected Partition Fedora Installation :: Grub Error 17: Cannot Mount Selected Partition Ubuntu Installation :: error 17 cannot Grub: Error 17 Cannot Mount Selected Partition Fedora Installation :: Dual Boot "Error 17: Cannot Mount Selected Partition" Fedora Installation :: 13 Boot Up Fail Error 17 "cannot Mount Selected Partition"?

Today I changed chassis for my computer, and by mistake I attached second drive to SATA 3 instead of SATA 2. So second drive was not mounted correctly. I turned off computer, attached it correctly and then my problem started. Now, I cannot boot system at all. Previously I set booting from removable drive in BIOS (pendrive), but now it seems computer (BIOS) does not recognize pendrive as removable drive, but regular HDD. So it won't boot for "removable drive". When I change boot order, and select to boot from hard drive (and I set first hard drive as pendrive) or if I directly set from boot menu to boot from pendrive I get error in GRUB which goes into rescue mode. My guess is, since because of some reason, pendrive is no longer recognized as removable media, but hard disk, hard drives are mapped differently and I should fix the mappings. I can boot CD installer and mount pendrive to see the content of grub config, but when I am in grub rescue mode and I execute "ls" I get (hd0) (hd0,msddos1) (hd1) (hd1,msddos2) (hd1,msdos1) (hd2) (hd2,msddos1) But I don't see the mapping, so I don't know what hd0 really means. I can only suspect hd1 here is sda, because it has 2 partitions (if suffix msdsos is indication of partitions).

Here's how you might solve it: When you boot (normally, from the hd) and grub appea
