1 down vote favorite I've read several similar grub error questions and answers, researched on Google (a lot), but still have not found a solution to my problem. I have an "old" notebook where I've installed Windows XP and then Ubuntu 8.04 - everything worked well for a long time. After the kids played with it (i.e. I have not seen what happened), I couldn't boot anymore. Grub simply said Error 17, and nothing else. After several Error grub error 22 17 failures, the error changed to Error 18 - and this is the error it shows now. What have I tried? I tried several Linux LIVE CD's and DVD's I have: Ubuntu 8.04, Kubuntu 10.04, Ubuntu 10.04, Ubuntu 11.10, Fedora 11, etc. - none of them is able to start, in all modes and options I tried (I have not manually edited the commands, but tried the provided options). I can't use the Live CD OS, and I can't install them either. This is important: it is ok to erase all HD contents! It is ok to format, repartition, lose all HD data - no problem. In most of the Ubuntu flavours, including the 8.04 CD, the initialization stucks, showing repeatedly the following error messages: ata3.00: exception Emask 0x0 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x0 action 0x0 ata3.00: BMDMA stat 0x25 ata3.00: cmd 25/00:08:e5:a5:50/00:00:12:00:00/e0 tag 0 dma 1024 in ata3.00: status: { DRDY ERR } ata3.00: error: { UNC } I also have tried the Windows XP installation CD. The recover command-line fails: fixmbr, fixboot, format - nothing works. If I try diskpart the partitioning tool tells me the HD is "unreachable" and if I try to continue a kind-of BSOD appears, giving me the only option to restart the computer. If instead of the recover command-line, I try to install the system, the same diskpart thing happens in the partition selection step. So, I downloa

Grub Error 15
on Facebook Tweet on Twitter tweet Grub is short for GNU GRand Unified Bootloader. grub error 17 suse To be simply put, it’s a boot loader package from the GNU Linux project. It’s the common and reference implementation of a grub error 18 multiboot Linux system. It allows you to choose which operating system or specific kernel to boot into.In this article, we’ll be looking into figuring out some common grub errors and hopefully, work out a fix for http://askubuntu.com/questions/156474/grub-error-17-and-18-grub-rescue-how-to-boot-again them. Repairing a broken Grub 2 bootloader: There are tons of us here who broke their grub thanks to autoupdates through apt or similar.

Then execute the commands below to get back into https://www.unixmen.com/fixing-a-few-common-grub-errors-broken-bootloader-and-error-1715/ an working desktop first.lsset prefix=(hdX,Y)/boot/grubset root=(hdX,Y)setls /bootinsmod /boot/grub/linux.modlinux /vmlinuz root=/dev/sdXY roinitrd /initrd.imgboot The X and Ys are to be filled in with your own HDD information. If you only have one HDD, it’ll be X=0, Y=1 and so on. At this point, you should atleast be able to boot up normally. You’re almost done. sudo update-grub sudo grub-install /dev/sdX Execute those two commands, replacing X with the partition your linux is installed on. For me, it was ‘a’. Voila!

Hello jlbethuram, welcome to the Forums. Grub error 17 occurs when Grub does not recognise the filesystem on the partition it is directed at; e.g. if it's ntfs. Is this the situation: you had vista on a drive and installed openSUSE off of a live DVD onto the drive in a multiboot with vista?
