The install went fine but now I have the next error while booting: grub stage 1.5 - error 2 I'm posting from the live CD and I didn't find an useful answer in Google. 12.04 grub2 boot-failure share|improve this question edited Dec 1 '12 at 18:58 Lucio 8,3921761114 asked Dec 1 '12 at 18:31 Gabriel 113 1 Adding the output of the boot info script to your question would help, but stage1.5 is part http://askubuntu.com/questions/224336/grub-error-2-while-booting-ubuntu-12-04 of grub-legacy and 12.04 uses grub2, so you must have some other disk that has an old broken grub install on it that you are booting rather than the one you installed 12.04 on. –psusi Dec 1 '12 at 20:50 Thanks for your help ! I understand what you wrote, but I'm a newbie with Ubuntu. Where is this boot info script ? I didn't find it. Before installing Ubuntu I was running Kubuntu (don't remember the version). Maybe am I still lauching the old grub... But how to check it ? I tried "sudo grub" on my Live cd, but i get a "command not found"... –Gabriel Dec 1 '12 at 23:49 Google for boot info script and it should be the first thing that comes up. Do you have more than one hard drive? –psusi Dec 2 '12 at 1:24 add a comment| 1 Answer 1 active oldest votes up vote 1 down vote Boot from LiveCD and from a terminal run 'grub-install /dev/hda' command and then boot from the hard disk. The command will do a fresh install of grub on your hard disk and overwrite any previous versions of grub. Hopefully this will fix it. share|improve this answer answered Dec 4 '12 at 22:32 gdesilva 211 add a comment| Your Answer draft saved draft discarded Sign up or log in Sign up using Google Sign up using Faceboo

GRUB loading, please wait.... Error 2 What can be done to solve this problem? The distribution is installed on a USB stick and not a hard disk. Are you dual booting? Could you post the contents of menu.lst file here? Post the output of sudo fdisk -l too. It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.
