In your case, the relevant partition is probably /dev/sda3 (at position 73GB), a dedicated partition for /boot. Reading the above link, it appears that your computer may have a 8GB limitation. That is, you would need to move /dev/sda3 to come to the start of the hard disk. Can this be done with GParted from the installation disk? You can also check if your manufacturer provides an updated BIOS that does not have a BIOS access limitation. Tom (tom6) said on 2009-08-22: #2 Hi :) Yes Simos is right there. Updating the bios can be daunting and could cause problems if your machine gets stuck halfway through. i would avoid it unless you are either quite experienced with this type of thing or else don't care if the machine gets trashed. It's unusual for it to go that wrong but does sometimes happen. I have been trying to re-write/heavily-edit the LiveCd guide https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCD so any feedback on that guide would be most welcome and if you can add screenshots that would be even better, i could re-arrange them later. I'm not totally happy with it at the moment but i think it's getting there. Anyway, from a LiveCd se

Video on YouTube Monday, October 13, 2008 Grub Stage 1.5 … Grub Loading, Please Wait … Error 18 http://www.ubuntu-es.org/node/50408 I got a used DELL from work a couple years ago, they sold it cheap because they were upgrading all their computers, and I used it to play movies for my kids while I was at their mom's house. I decided to take it back grub loading home and put Linux on it and let them use that to play online while I was on my regular computer. I had Ubuntu installed on a HDD in my regular tower and swapped out the drives and it didn't work so I decided to wipe the HDD and reinstall Ubuntu. The install went smooth and it ejected the CD and said hit Enter. I hit enter and the computer rebooted and said:Grub Stage 1.5Grub Loading, Please WaitError 18I waited for a while and nothing happened. I rebooted again, and again grub loading please saw the same message, thinking I might have rebooted too soon before I waited a long time, took a nap for a few hours and came back, it was still in the same state. I read all I could about this error message that seems to only happen to newbies, where the only fix seems to be re-installing the GRUB, but, this is a NEW install... I reinstalled the whole Ubuntu again, nothing. Tried making a separate partition, said the partition was too small, so I redid it from scratch again, nope. A lot of people were getting results from doing something in the BIOS, my BIOS had nothing close to what they were changing to fix their problem. I was thinking maybe the HDD I had was too big for the motherboard, so I took it out and looked, it was a 30gig made in 2000 and the original was a 80gig made in 2003. I was thinking I was going to have to wipe the original HDD and put Ubuntu on that but there was no guarantee it would work. Then I got an idea, switch the pins in the HDD from "Cable Select" to "15 Cylinder Master" (there was a choice for 16 Cylinder but the Error 18 seemed to be saying the BIOS was expecting a lower number) guess what, the DELL booted as if Ubuntu was native to the system!I posted this hoping it might help someone somewhere who tried all the other suggestions and still couldn't get their system working. posted by Billy Nair | 10:33 AM 0 Comments: Post a Comment << Home
unos dias, después de probar una versión live DVD de Ubuntu Feisty Fawn me decidí a instalarla definitivamente, pero tras varios intentos, lo único que consigo después de instalarlo es este mensaje al arrancar el ordenador: "GRUB loading stage 1.5 / GRUB loading, please wait... / error 2" En mi disco duro ATA de 150 Gb tengo en una partición de 100 Gb Win XP y he instalado después Ubuntu en otra partición contigua de 50 Gb creada al efecto durante la instalación. Si intento instalar en modo texto, la instalación se para al 85% y se bloquea el ordenador Durante la instalación en modo gráfico no parece haber ningun problema, el proceso se completa normalmente y al reiniciar ni me aparece menu de arranque ni nada, solo ese mensaje. Para recuperar el arranque de Windows lo tengo que hacer mediante la consola de recuperación del Cd de Windows XP, o con el Super Grub Disk para reparar los sectores de arranque. También he intentado arrancar Ubunto desde el Super Grub Disk sin exito, o reparar el Grub o reinstalarlo arrancando desde el DVD live pero siempre al reiniciar me da el mismo "Error 2" No tengo mucha experiencia con Linux y he buscado en estos foros y en toda la red soluciones pero ninguna parece resultar; todas parecen orientadas a reinstalar Grub pero como os comento, no parece que eso funcione. He leido alguna cosa sobre que el problema puede estar en la Bios del ordenador pero nada concreto que me auyde. Mi equipo es un AMD Athlon 3200+ 64 bits; 1Gb Ram; Disco duro Pata 150 gb particionado como os he comentado antes Solo comentaros que la version que intento instalar de ubuntu también es 64 bits.
