OK Grub stage 1.5 Error: 2 Started by Desertoren , Nov 26 2009 04:15 AM Please log in to reply 3 replies to this topic #1 Desertoren Desertoren Noob Members 3 posts Posted 26 November 2009 - 04:15 AM Hi, i just finished installing slackware 13 and this is the first time i'm using linux. When the setup was finished and i removed the slack-cd and rebooted, i get this message: GRUB Loading stage1.5. GRUB loading, please wait... Error 2From what i've learned this Error 2:"Selected disk doesn't exist" This error is returned if the device part of a device- or full filename refers to a disk or BIOS device that is not present or not recognized by the BIOS in the system.This sort of makes sense since during installation i could not use cfdisk to partition; using cfdisk showed me 600mb of free space on hda, however fdisk -l showed me my 2 harddrives of 250gb each, named sda and sdb. I then had to partition in fdisk and continue with the setup. I don't know if this is the way it's supposed to work, but my guess is that the reason grub can't find my root (or whatever it's looking for), is the same reason cfdisk couldn't find my drives, i.e grub is looking for hda1 or something, when it should be looking for sda1.Here's where i'm stuck: I have no idea how to access menu.lst and change the drive it should be booting from. I would appreciate any help on the matter.MarcusEdit: btw, i have absolutely no idea what "hda" is in the cfdisk list, i have no partition of that size, it just doesn't make sense to me.

Edit: Ok, so now i've reinstalled, properly and i am at the exact same problem. Back to top

Somehow, whatever location was initially written to your grub configuration no longer exists according to grub. Try Super Grub: http://supergrub.forjamari.linex.org/ -- David
posts • Page 1 of 1 Reply with quote GRUB Error 2 by cwjrda » 6. Feb 2009, 17:35 I have been using VirtualBox on a Win XP Pro to host Ubuntu for a couple of months now. I have an application that runs in Linux and another application that runs in Windows and am developing an interface program in Linux to allow the Windows app to control the Linux app. Suddenly, yesterday, it will not boot. When I start the VM I see the VirtualBox screen and when that disappears I have the following in a black screen: GRUB Loading stage1.5. GRUB loading, please wait... Error 2 And there it hangs. I cannot get into Ubuntu. I don't know even why Grub is being used here, I didn't install it intentionally. I don't need multiple boot options within my VM. I don't know how to get into the disk image to find out what may be wrong or to fix it. I read forums that talked about fixing grub files, but I can't even get to the disk image. Can you help me find a way to fix this. I need to be able to recover the contents of my disk image, it has several things installed and also the code I have been developing. (I do have a backup but it would take a while to reinstall and get all the settings right.) Thanks for your help. cwjrda Posts: 4Joined: 7. Nov 2008, 02:54 Top Reply with quote by TerryE » 6. Feb 2009, 17:54 Ubuntu uses the grub bootstrap by default. It needs some bootstrap the 1.5 stage is needed to support the range of Linux files systems that could be used for the Host OS. To repair grub, you need to boot your VM from a LiveCD such as the Ubuntu distro and rerun grub-install. There are lots of articles on the internet on how to do this.
