Error 25 GRUB stage 1.5 Hello everyone. A few days ago I decided to ditch Windows for good. I read for hours about a Linux distro and settled on OpenSUSE. I just need to say one thing. Linux is not for the feint of heart, and everywhere I turn (forums), I see computers riddled with error messages, frustrated people, and the list goes on. I'm willing to work through this though since I feel that the benefits will outweigh anything that Microsoft can offer, so here goes. Upon installing the new build of OpenSUSE, I encountered an error message that was fixed by hitting retry (I forgot the name, but I remember it being something like Etk3 or something of the sort). My issue now is not being able to boot into the OS. I'm getting Error 25 from GRUB on stage 1.5 Thank you for reading, Michael Clarification: I've installed 11.1 over my Windows XP partition. I want XP no more. Additionally, I read the sticky and followed all the instructions. I also selected the KDE desktop (I still don't know the difference between that and GNOME despite Googling it several times). Last edited by arakavaz; 31-Jul-2009

My system has WinXP installed and Fedora Core 3 also. Using grub to boot, I get Error 25 every time, no matter which of the grub menu choices I try to boot. I have four Linux kernals and one Windows OS as choices via grub. I have grub installed on a bootable CDROM, not in the MBR. I specified to put grub in the MBR when installindg core 3, but it appears to have i
error string and then halt. Pressing Ctrl-Alt-Del will reboot. The following is a comprehensive list of error messages for the Stage 1: "Hard Disk Error" This error message will occur http://www.uruk.org/orig-grub/errors.html if the Stage 2 or Stage 1.5 is being read from a hard disk, and http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?14758 the attempt to determine the size and geometry of the hard disk fails. "Floppy Error" This error message will occur if the Stage 2 or Stage 1.5 is being read from a floppy disk, and the attempt to determine the size and geometry of the floppy disk fails. It's listed as a different error since the probe sequence grub error is different than for hard disks. "Read Error" This error message will occur if a disk read error happens while trying to read the Stage 2 or Stage 1.5. "Geom Error" This error message will occur if the location of the Stage 2 or Stage 1.5 is not in the area supported by reading the disk with the BIOS directly. This could occur because the BIOS translated geometry has been changed by the grub error 25 user or the disk is moved to another machine or controller after installation, or GRUB was not installed using itself (if it was, the Stage 2 version of this error would have been seen during that process and it would not have completed the install). Errors Reported by the Stage 1.5 The general way that the Stage 1.5 handles errors is to print an error number in the form "Error: " and then halt. Pressing Ctrl-Alt-Del will reboot. The error numbers correspond to the Errors Reported by the Stage 2 in the listed sequence. Errors Reported by the Stage 2 The general way that the Stage 2 handles errors is to abort the operation in question, print an error string, then (if possible) either continue based on the fact that an error occurred or wait for the user to deal with the error. The following is a comprehensive list of error messages for the Stage 2 (error numbers for the Stage 1.5 are listed before the colon in each description): 1 : "Selected item won't fit into memory" This error is returned if a kernel, module, or raw file load command is either trying to load it's data such that it won't fit into memory or it is simply too big. 2 : "Selected disk doesn't exi
