Grub Error 15 File Not Found Archlinux
Debian | Linux Leave a Comment Today, I was installing my both lovers: Debian and Archlinux🙂 on my laptop. After finishing the installation process, I rebooted and.. Grub gave me its famous error: "» [SOLVED] Grub Error 15: File Not Found" arrrrggg… so Troubleshooting time!.. The thing is: I have the following partitions in just one disk: * 2 volume groups: vg_debian and vg_archlinux. * 2 boot partitions: /dev/sda1 and /dev/sda4. 1. Rebooting operating system with a rescue cd. 2. Installing lvm in case it is not installed on the rescue cd. 3. Logical volumes should now be located in /dev/mapper If you cannot find them, use the next commands to bring up the module for creating device nodes and to make volume groups available:
# modprobe dm-mod
# vgscan
# vgchange -ay
4. Listing grub configuration on /boot/grub/menu.lst
cat /boot/grub/menu.lst
....
title Debian GNU/Linux
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32-5-amd64 root=/dev/mapper/vg_debian-lv_raiz ro
initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.32-5-amd64
title Archlinux
root (hd0,3)
kernel /vmlinuz-linux root=/dev/mapper/vg_archlinux-lv_raiz ro
initrd /initramfs-linux.img
...
So.. what was the error??.. replace /boot/ y /, if not Grub find kernel on /boot/boot/ and.. of course it doesn't exist! 5. After modification, save file, reboot and.. taraaaa!!! it works!

Last night I tried to setup autofs per instructions on the Arch wiki, but upon restart there was http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/9194/grub-error-15-no-boot-menu-nor-boot no boot menu and only a GRUB error message saying "Error 15". (1) Using Ext2explore in Windows, I can see the following partition structure: (2) Using fdisk in an ArchLinux live cd, I can see this: (3) I tried to do "fdisk /dev/sda/" then the commands x, f, w to correct error, but fdisk says my partitions' "ordering is correct already" (4) Using the root and setup commands in the GRUB shell also ended in failure (it tells me it can't find GRUB files, /boot/grub/, etc. etc.). Specifically, I tried "root (hd0,1)", then "setup (hd0)", (also hd0,0, hd0,2, etc.), all failed. Is there any hope of restoring my system? Thanks for your help. P.S. here is my menu.lst, which can be seen in Ext2explore: # Config file for GRUB - The GNU GRand Unified Bootloader # /boot/grub/menu.lst # DEVICE NAME CONVERSIONS # # Linux Grub # ------------------------- # /dev/fd0 (fd0) # /dev/sda (hd0) # /dev/sdb2 (hd1,1) # /dev/sda3 (hd0,2) # # FRAMEBUFFER RESOLUTION SETTINGS # +-------------------------------------------------+ # | 640x480 800x600 1024x768 1280x1024 # ----+-------------------------------------------- # 256 | 0x301=769 0x303=771 0x305=773 0x307=775 # 32K | 0x310=784 0x313=787 0x316=790 0x319=793 # 64K | 0x311=785 0x314=788 0x317=791 0x31A

So I reinstalled it and now I get the following error message on bootup: Code: root (hd0,2) Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83 kernel /vmlinuz26 root=/dev/sda4 ro Error 15: File not found Press any key to continue...
