Error 17 jlpeifer Jul 21, 2014 11:08 AM Howdy,We experienced a lengthy power outage during off-hours. When the UPS drained completely our ESXi 5.5 server shut down ungracefully. Upon trying to start the server again I'm greeted http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-laptop-and-netbook-25/error-17-grub-loading-stage-1-5-a-724671/ with the following screen...GRUB Loading stage1.5.GRUB loading, please wait...Error 17I was able to get the server running again by installing VMware ESXi 5.5 onto a USB flash drive, booting from that drive, finding the virtual machine's VMX file in the server's datastore and adding it to the temporary installation's list of virtual https://communities.vmware.com/thread/485116?start=0&tstart=0 machines.I'd like to resolve this GRUB issue but I have no (zero, nadda, zilch) idea how to fix this problem.Can anyone provide guidance? 1740Views Tags: none (add) grubContent tagged with grub, usbContent tagged with usb, crashContent tagged with crash, errorContent tagged with error, esxiContent tagged with esxi, 5.5Content tagged with 5.5, 17Content tagged with 17 This content has been marked as final.

Try to boot some live-cd, check your disk with fdisk (find your root-partition) and if necessary, fix grub configuration... Like Show 0 Likes (0) Actions 2. Re: GRUB loading, please wait...

had it install Grub so I could boot between the two. After playing games on Vista, I rebooted to do some work in Ubuntu. The machine wouldn't boot due to Grub error 17, but after doing something stupid it booted just http://iknowkungfoo.com/blog/index.cfm/2008/6/16/Stupid-solution-for-Grub-error-17 fine. The ProblemSo, I tell Vista to restart so I can load up Ubuntu. When I should http://www.pclinuxos.com/forum/index.php?topic=114605.0 get the Grub menu that lets me choose between Vista and Ubuntu, instead I got this error message: view plain copy to clipboard print about ColdFISH is developed by Jason Delmore. Source code and license information available at coldfish.riaforge.org GRUB Loading stage1.5GRUB loading, please wait . . .Error 17 1GRUB Loading stage1.523GRUB loading, please wait . . .4Error 17Possible SolutionsI hit up Google as usual and found this post on the Ubuntu forums that explains grub loading how to change some settings in the BIOS to fix the error. Then I found this post that explains how to reinstall Grub from a Live CD to fix the error.I booted up the Ubuntu Live CD, getting ready to reinstall Grub (2nd link). Something oddWhen the Live CD loaded, I noticed my external USB hard drive was mounted on the desktop. I remembered one this post from the 1st link:"In my case, I have three SATA hard disks.
My BIOS sees them as: HDD1 grub loading stage - 80 GB - Windows HDD2 - 80 GB - Linux HDD3 - 250 GB - MediaLinux sees them as: /dev/sda - 80 GB - Windows /dev/sdb - 250 GB - Media /dev/sdc - 80 GB - LinuxSo it generated device.map assuming that order was correct, i.e.: (hd0) /dev/sda (hd1) /dev/sdb (hd2) /dev/sdcWhen the installer installed GRUB using that data, it tried to install the first part of GRUB on /dev/sda and told it to look for the OS on /dev/sdc. Unfortunately, this translated to "install on (hd0) then look for the OS on (hd2)", so it was looking for the OS on the wrong drive."So one cause of Grub error 17 is the order in which Linux mounts hard drives vs. the mount point where Grub expects to find Linux.The Stupid SolutionI unmounted the external hard drive, then turned it off. I rebooted the computer and a few seconds later BAM! there's the Grub Menu. Views: 64099 | Comments: 7 | Print | Comments (Comment Moderation is enabled. Your comment will not appear until approved.)
