On first Ubuntu boot I get a Grub error 18. As I already found out the reason grub error 18 therefore is a unfortunate combination of problems: The Ubuntu partitions are at the end of the partion table probably too far in the back to get found by the old BIOS. I'm installing on a rather old laptop with a BIOS where I can't set the HDD mode (from LBA to CHS or normal). This was mentioned as a workaround to get Grub boot from drives too large for old BIOS (in my case 250GB). One workaround mentioned was to create a boot partition as a first partition on the drive. But as the Ubuntu installer can't move partions, just resize them I can't make any free space that way. Would there be any problem regarding my existing Windows installation if I used another partitioning tool to resize and move my first Windows partition a bit to the back? If doing so would I still be able to reenable the Windows boot manager with fixboot/fixmbr? ubuntu multi-boot grub share|improve this question asked Jul 25 '09 at 13:47 desolat 5551715 add a comment| 2 Answers 2 active oldest votes up vote 6 down vote accepted C

Ever since I installed it, every time i boot up my machine (VPR Matrix, P4 2.40 Ghz, 1GB RAM, nvidia 7300GT 512MB)the error GRUB Error 18 shows up. So each time that happens, i cant do anything, so i just did a clean install with windows. All i did with opensuse 11.0 was run the dvd install and everything installed normally. It booted into opensuse 11.0 KDE 4 and everything was great, until i turned my machine off... then the GRUB Error 18. ive tried different things but nothings working and im wasting my time. Desired boot:Windows XP Pro, Ubuntu Studio 8.04, Opensuse 11.0 someone plz help im still kind of new to linux Reply With Quote 03-Jul-2008,01:58 #2 Ecky View Profile View Forum Posts View Blog Entries View Articles Parent Penguin Join Date Jun 2008 Posts 695 Re: Problems with GRUB Error 18 Explanation of grub error 18: http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/GRUB#Error_18 The generally used fix seems to be creating a small partition at the beginning of your drive and mounting it as /boot It should be possible to have both your ubuntu and suse boot files on the same partition, as long as you edit the grub entries accordingly Something like this should work On /boot make directories for suse and ubuntu (/boot/suse and /boot/ubuntu), each directory would have the files normally found in /boot for that particular distro In your grub entry for suse then you would need to have something like: kernel /boot/suse/vmlinuz [followed by your usual options] initrd /boot/suse/initrd (ubuntu's would be similar to: kernel /boot/ubuntu/vmlinuz [followed by your usual options] initrd /boot/ubuntu/initrd ) There are other scenarios like putting one distro's boot files in a folder in another distro's /boot directory, again as long as you edit the grub entry accordingly It does seem a bit odd t
