swap partition on local disk /dev/sda1 and 1.2 terabyte partition on local disk /dev/sda2 containing the entire filesystem (including /boot). The error message appears during grub stage 1.5 before presenting the grub menu.Booting to rescue mode and executing grub-install /dev/sda allows the machine to grub error 22 successfully boot a single time. All subsequent boots end with a grub error 24. Resolution Grub error 24 means "Attempt to access block outside partition".Creating a smaller (200MB in this case) partition to hold /boot resolved the issue.

I originally thought... At any rate, I decided it would make more sense to just reinstall and start fresh than to try and pick up the pieces. After going through the reinstall, formatting my OS hard drive and installing Ubuntu, it asked for a grub error 17 reboot. When it restarted, I hit the following Grub error:Error 24: Attempt to access block outside partitionAfter grub error 15 doing a ton of searching online, I finally figured out that this was a problem with my menu.lst file that Grub uses to boot. In my grub rescue case, it was attempting to boot off the wrong HD with the line:boot (hd4,0)To correct this, I had to do a temporary and then a permanent fix. The temporary fix is needed to get Ubuntu to boot at all, and because I http://www.novell.com/support/kb/doc.php?id=7005004 wasn't able to figure out an effective way to edit the menu.lst file without being able to boot into Ubuntu in the first place...So, for the temporary fix, when you start (or reboot) your computer, wait for the Grub loading stage and hit escape to interrupt the countdown (usually 3 seconds by default) and enter the grub menu. Once in the Grub menu, hit 'e' to begin editing. Look for the line that starts with 'boot' and make sure it's set to 'boot (hd0,0)'. If http://jaykinzer.blogspot.com/2008/08/grub-error-24-attempt-to-access-block.html it's not, go down to that line if you're not already on it and hit 'e' to edit that line. Change 'hdX' (where X is any number NOT 0) to 'hd0' and hit enter to accept the change. Then hit 'b' to boot with those settings. *NOTE* If your boot line was set to (hd0,0), check here for other alternatives.Once you've done this, you should be able to boot Ubuntu. Now you need to make sure you don't have to do this every time! To do this...Open a terminal and type:'sudo vi /boot/grub/menu.lst'This will open your menu.lst file for editing. (If you're not used to editing in vi, you can also try gedit by typing 'gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst')In either case, once you have the file open, navigate down past all the commented lines (lines starting with '#') towards the bottom of the file. There you'll see three sections, one to load Ubuntu, one to load Ubuntu in recovery mode, and one to run the Ubuntu memtest. In all three of these sections, there's a line similar to:root (hdX,0)In all three sections, edit this line to be:root (hd0,0)This will ensure that Grub boots off the right device from now on!Good luck!

I am dual-booting between Ubuntu grub loading error 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...
