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 executed this, reported no errors. Only problem, the system still wouldn't boot normally. Re-installed Grub using apt-get, and ran grub-install. Not fixed. Perhaps sda1 has a corrupted filesystem? Ran e2fsck: no change. Ran setup again to make the MBR look at a different partition for stage2 and menu.lst. Still no joy. Tried running the find command from the Grub CD. Not one of the twenty-plus stage1 or stage2 files could be found, though boot_info_script found them all. Hmm. Well, maybe my hard disc is is dying. This seemed the more likely since there's a little man
