There's probably a typo in menu.lst. Mount your root partition from the ubuntu livecd, and check. You can either double-click on it in Places>Computer, then go to /boot/grub/menu.lst, or manually mount it in the terminal: sudo mkdir /media/ubuntu sudo mount -t ext3 /dev/sda1 /media/ubuntu gksudo gedit /media/ubuntu/boot/grub/menu.lst Copy it and post it.

Grub Error 13
Linux/dev/sda3 grub error you need to load the kernel first Linux swap / Solarisblkid:/dev/sda1: UUID="484d3c32-aae5-43a3-bb4b-cbaaab26f96a" TYPE="ext2"/dev/sda2: UUID="3525ec64-d3dc-4bec-b9d2-172633f4a3a4" SEC_TYPE="ext2" TYPE="ext3"/dev/sda3: TYPE="swap" UUID: ""1d1b29b3-92b9-4823-aca6-06d3e51ed825"loop0 and loop1, no clue what those grub error malformed file are.So, sda1 should be /boot. sda2 should be /. sda3 should be swap. (I setup the partitions manually, not with the auto configure)So, I just mounted /dev/sda1 in archlive, and grub/menu.lst contains this:root (hd0,0) https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=818859 kernel /boot/vmlinuz26 root=/dev/disk/by-uuid/3525ec64-d3dc-4bec-b9d2-172633f4a3a4 ro initrd /boot/kernel26.imgBut, I get this error message in grub:root (hd0,0) Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83 kernel /boot/vmlinuz26 Error 15: File not found Press any key to continue...Any ideas? 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 https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=56251 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?

Grub sees both as ext2.As to the problem at hand: If the UUID points to your boot partition there is no need to have /boot in front of the kernel/initrd. This makes it look for a /boot directory inside of the /boot partition, which obviously doesn't exist.So it should just read:root (hd0,0) kernel /vmlinuz26 root=/dev/disk/by-uuid/3525ec64-d3dc-4bec-b9d2-172633f4a3a4 ro initrd /kernel26.img Last edited by SkonesMickLoud (2008-10-03 19:14:29) Offline #4 2008-10-03 22:05:08 Ek0nomik Member From: Wisconsin Registered: 2008-05-01 Posts: 7 Re: [SOLV
had it install Grub so I could boot between the two. After playing games on Vista, I rebooted to do some work in Ubuntu. The machine wouldn't boot due to Grub error 17, but after doing something stupid it booted http://iknowkungfoo.com/blog/index.cfm/2008/6/16/Stupid-solution-for-Grub-error-17 just fine. The ProblemSo, I tell Vista to restart so I can load up Ubuntu. When http://fedoraforum.org/forum/showthread.php?t=192527 I should get the Grub menu that lets me choose between Vista and Ubuntu, instead I got this error message: view plain copy to clipboard print about ColdFISH is developed by Jason Delmore. Source code and license information available at coldfish.riaforge.org GRUB Loading stage1.5GRUB loading, please wait . . .Error 17 1GRUB Loading stage1.523GRUB loading, please wait . . .4Error 17Possible SolutionsI hit up Google as usual and found this post on the Ubuntu grub error forums that explains how to change some settings in the BIOS to fix the error. Then I found this post that explains how to reinstall Grub from a Live CD to fix the error.I booted up the Ubuntu Live CD, getting ready to reinstall Grub (2nd link). Something oddWhen the Live CD loaded, I noticed my external USB hard drive was mounted on the desktop. I remembered one this post from the 1st link:"In my case, I have three SATA hard disks.
My 2008 grub error BIOS sees them as: HDD1 - 80 GB - Windows HDD2 - 80 GB - Linux HDD3 - 250 GB - MediaLinux sees them as: /dev/sda - 80 GB - Windows /dev/sdb - 250 GB - Media /dev/sdc - 80 GB - LinuxSo it generated device.map assuming that order was correct, i.e.: (hd0) /dev/sda (hd1) /dev/sdb (hd2) /dev/sdcWhen the installer installed GRUB using that data, it tried to install the first part of GRUB on /dev/sda and told it to look for the OS on /dev/sdc. Unfortunately, this translated to "install on (hd0) then look for the OS on (hd2)", so it was looking for the OS on the wrong drive."So one cause of Grub error 17 is the order in which Linux mounts hard drives vs. the mount point where Grub expects to find Linux.The Stupid SolutionI unmounted the external hard drive, then turned it off. I rebooted the computer and a few seconds later BAM! there's the Grub Menu. Views: 64000 | Comments: 7 | Print | Comments (Comment Moderation is enabled. Your comment will not appear until approved.)
