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 despit

Join Date Jul 2009 Beans 50 DistroUbuntu 14.04 Trusty Tahr HDD partition corruption? / https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1728158 gets stuck on GRUB "Error 25" My HDD using Lucid 10.04 (referred to as HIT HDD1 from now on, to distinguish it from a backup HDD which is working fine on the SAME computer) refuses to boot up: it gets stuck at the GRUB loading stage; I've restarted it on dozens of occasions and each time I get: “GRUB Loading stage1.5. GRUB loading, please wait... Error 25” I don't know if it was a coincidence but my HIT HDD1 (most unusually) crashed within seconds of my automatic Update Manager coming through, telling me there were updates to make (which I didn't have chance to do). I made several postings in the HOWTO: Purge and Reinstall Grub 2 from the Live CD thread. Here are their links: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1581099&page=10 http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1581099&page=15 However,drs305 (a Forum Staff member), believes that the problem arises from the partition setup rather than a Grub problem. Originally Posted by drs305 greenewbie, I don't think you are having a grub problem. Your system is having a problem reading the partitions. There is corruption of some sort, and the files aren't being read. It could be the filesystem, partition table, or something else. The mount command normally wouldn't require you to add the file type for a linux partition, which just further confirms the problem (unless sda1

It came with a 10 GB HD on which WinXP is installed, and I'd like to keep it.I have installed a 120 MB HD as the slave drive, specifically for use with Linux. Last night, I tried installing Ubuntu 5.04 'Hoary Hedgehog' on this beast.I have partitioned the 120 GB slave drive as follows:Quote /dev/hdb1 swap512 MB (no mount point) /dev/hdb2 grub loading ext3 512 MB /boot /dev/hdb3 extended /dev/hdb5 ext3 1 GB / (root) /dev/hdb6 ext3 10 GB /usr /dev/hdb7 ext3 1 GB /tmp /dev/hdb8 ext3 1 GB /var /dev/hdb9 ext3 30 GB /homeDuring the first stage of the install, I okayed the installation of GRUB, and restarted the PC. The result is:Quote GRUB loading stage1.5 grub loading error GRUB loading, please wait... Error 25The Ubuntu install, not surpringly, will not complete. Googling indicates that this may be an error in the generated menu.lst file, which I have attached to the end of this post.Can someone point me to the error in the file? I have sufficient skills to modify it using a live CD and a text editor, but my knowledge of GRUB is less than zero. Ideally, of course, I'd like to fix the GRUB configuration and complete the Ubuntu install.Alternatively, would it be better to remove the 10 GB WinXP HD for now, make the 120 GB drive the new primary drive, and re-install Ubuntu from scratch? Later, perhaps, I'd re-install the 10 GB HD and try to make WinXP bootable from there.I'm working my way through the GRUB manual, but it's rough going for my old brain.Links to good GRUB resources will be welcome as well.Thanks...JGBQuote# menu.lst - See: grub(8), info grub, update-grub(8)# grub-install(8), grub-floppy(8),# grub-md5-crypt, /usr/share/doc/grub# and /usr/share/doc/grub-doc/.## default num# Set the default entry to the entry number NUM.

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 if the Stage 2 or Stage 1.5 is being read from a hard disk, and 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 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 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 tryin
