How To Solve Grub Error In Linux
Error 15: Could not find file A quick Google search and voila! - this VMware KB seems to talk about my issue! But hold on a second, they ask https://kb.vmware.com/kb/2141904 to „Select Service Console Only mode (ESX 3.5) or Troubleshooting mode (ESX 4.x) on the Grub menu." Here's the problem - I cannot boot to the Service Console either for the same reason. Everything I could do was edit GRUB configuration and I found out that one line in the entry for the Service Console (well, in http://pawellakomski.pl/blog/error-15-could-not-find-file-on-esx-after-patching-have-failed/ fact for ESX and ESX debug mode too) pointed to: kernel --no-mem-option /vmlinuz-2.4.21-57.ELvmnix So was this file missing? Earlier I applied the same patch(es) to another host so I connected to it and had a look on the bootloader config file (/boot/grup/grup.conf). Here I found that this line was quite different: kernel --no-mem-option /vmlinuz-2.4.21-58.ELvmnix I went back to my unbootable server and edited Service Console entry in GRUB - where you're presented with GRUB boot menu, select Service Console and press ‘e', then go down to the proper line and select ‘e' again. Make desired modifications, in my case was simply to change ‘vmlinuz-2.4.21-57.ELvmnix' to ‘vmlinuz-2.4.21-58.ELvmnix'. Press enter to acknowledge changes and press ‘b' to boot with your settings. The server booted to the service console and I followed the instructions from the KB: esxcfg-boot -p
esxcfg-boot -b
esxcfg-boot -r I rebooted the server and booted to ESX with no problem. The server will be reinstalled anyway as I do not trust it but this whole operat

I am dual-booting between Ubuntu and Vista from a 2yr-old TOSHIBA laptop. The version of Ubuntu I was using is 9.10 (ok, should have updated a while back, mea culpa...) Yesterday I couldn't load Ubuntu and I got a message Code: ALERT! /dev/disk/by-uuid/[long number] done not exist. Dropping to a shell! I managed to sort out the problem thanks to this post http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1355385 and used Ubuntu without any problem. Now today I tried to switch the computer on again and I am getting the error message Code: GRUB loading stage 1.5 GRUB loading, please wait... Error 15 Following the advice on the post above, I updated GRUB to GRUB2 last night. Maybe I shouldn't have... The screen with the GRUB error message comes before the screen that would let me choose between Vista and Ubuntu and won't let me use a command prompt or anything. The only thing I seem to be able to access is if I press F2 at start up which takes me to the Setup utility screen or F12 which takes me to the Boot Manager. Any help would be appreciated as, in effect, my computer is useless as it is now...

A while ago, after no updates/changes that I was aware of, my system stopped booting, and gave me: Code: GRUB Loading stage1_5 GRUB Loading, please wait Error 15 The error is in stage 1.5, not stage2, as there is no more info on screen. However, the grub manual tells us that stage 1.5 errors have the same explanations as stage2, and error 15 is "File not found". Presumably, Grub couldn't find stage2. However, after booting with a Grub CD, a quick check shows that the stage2 and all other stuff normally present is there. Furthermore, boot_info_script says all is hunky-dory, Code: Grub Legacy (v0.97) is installed in the MBR of /dev/sda and looks on the same drive in partition #1 for /boot/grub/stage2 and /boot/grub/menu.lst. Grub Legacy (v0.97) is installed in the boot sector of sda1 and looks at sector 17179431 of the same hard drive for the stage2 file. A stage2 file is at this location on /dev/sda. Stage2 looks on partition #1 for /boot/grub/menu.lst. Checked that menu.lst and fstab were ok. Furthermore, using the Grub CD I could boot sda1 by using the chainloader +1 command, and using the configfile command brought up the sda1 menu screen in all its multiple-choice glory. So presumably something is corrupt in the MBR. Easily fixed, I thought, just start up with the Grub CD, and enter Code: root (hd0,0) setup (hd0) Grub happily exe
