The file you need to adjust is probably "/boot/grub/menu.lst". It sounds like grub is trying to boot from an unexisting or unreadable partition. I had the same problem once and all I needed to do was change the jumpersetting of my ide harddisks from cable select to the right one.

Grub error 17 is kind of scary because you don't even see your grub menu in this case and grub error 15 is very frustrating because it shows the grub menu but comes back to same error over and over again. I was also terrified of these error because once you get these error you can't use your system, you can't access the net and that's is just not cool.is it ? The reason for grub error 17 is a messed up partition table disk order. How partition table disk order gets messed up I have no idea but it does sometimes and then you get error 17. So what does it mean by a messed up partition table disk order. It means say your drive A was /dev/hda2 earlier now it is /dev/hda3 or something else bottom line for you to know
2008-01-24 Posts: 150 grub error 17 on fresh install i just installed arch onto my laptop but can't get into https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=52630 it because Grub isn't configured correctly (i guess..)on startup i get http://bbs.archbang.org/viewtopic.php?id=2519 grub error 17:Cannot mount selected partition This error is returned if the partition requested exists, but the filesystem type cannot be recognized by GRUB.my partitions are:sda1: windows (fat32)sda2:arch (ext2)sda3:swap i have installed grub on sda2. I have attempted the method on this grub error wiki page: (grub wouldn't install)http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Reinstalling_GRUBand have tried many different configurations of the menu.lst file which currently reads: title Arch Linux root (hd0,1) kernel /boot/vmlinuz26 root=/dev/disk/by-uuid/2ef28803-19ae-406f-96af-054a8816f25e ro initrd /boot/kernel26.imgwith everything else commented out. i have tried booting into the install from the liveCD, but i can't seem to get the grub settings right to grub error 17 get there (i keep getting error 15: file not found)help please?? i will provide any additional information needededit... after getting into my system using the technique on the wiki page.. i tried reinstalling grub from pacman. that worked.. but didn't help at all Last edited by mrcold (2008-08-01 04:15:12) Offline #2 2008-08-01 15:46:07 mrcold Member Registered: 2008-01-24 Posts: 150 Re: grub error 17 on fresh install Here is /etc/fstab# # /etc/fstab: static file system information # # pablokal Administrator From: Nijmegen, Holland Registered: 2010-10-12 Posts: 3,581 Website A few ways to deal with the grub 17 and grub 15 error Warning: this isn't a complete documentation on why grub errors can come about.This is only something that I learned from solving a very specific situation; I post it here because it can help others on the way.I installed the March Archbang iso today on a old pc and all went very well regarding Archbang but there were two grub errors, first error 17.I was replacing an older Arch installation that I hadn't updated in more then a year but functioned flawlessly. The grub error 17 was a result of a changed partition table.This change was caused by the partitioning for the installation.How to fix that is clearly described here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/GRUB#GRUB_Error_17 .But after doing that my problems weren't over.The only change was that error 17 was now replaced by error 15.An innocent suspect:The renaming of the booting items issue led to numerous grub 15 questions on the Arch forums: Solution Modify /boot/grub/menu.lst so vmlinuz26 is vmlinuz-linux, kernel26.img is initramfs-linux.img and kernel26-fallback.img is initramfs-linux-fallback.imgBut this was not the problem in my case;I changed two aspects of my /boot/grub/menu.lst.The reason this sort of problems is difficult to solve is that there are so many scenarios people use regarding making a dedicated booting partition or not, how the root folder is designated in /etc/fstab.Anyway in etc/fstab my root partition was designated by the UUid that you can find by typing in the terminalblkid.Changingkernel /boot/vmlinuz-linux root=/dev/sda6 rotokernel /boot/vmlinuz-linux root=/dev/disk/by-uuid/xxx6840d-8769-41f4-xxxxxx rowas one part of the solution. If in the fstab /dev/sda6 was mentioned I would have had to change the menu.lst to sda6; what I conclud
