Quote Postby chicagocoyote » 2010/12/24 03:36:31 I have a single drive in my system, a SeaGate 76GB SCSI drive.I am running CentOS 5.2.My machine locked up recently with the following message onall xterms: journal commit I/O error.This machine has a separate /boot partition _however_ that bootpartition is ext2, not ext3 (and therefore has no journalling).On rebooting (multiple times) the machine would fail to rebootand I would see one of the two following messages: Grub Loading Stage2 Read Erroror Grub Read Error"smartctl -H /dev/sda" yielded:SMART Heath Status OKOn booting of a CD in "linux rescue" mode, all disk partitionsmounted except /boot.I executed "fdisk /dev/sda1" sda1 being the /boot partitionand though I executed no commands to alter the partition,I exited with "w" to save changes as opposed to "q" whichwould exit without saving changes (even though I executedno "partition altering" commands).Now, however, a "linux rescue" boot finds and mounts allpartitions including the /boot partition.---------I tried grub grub> root (hd0,0) grub> setup (hd0)and then I tried: grub-install --root-directory=/ /dev/sda1and both times, the machine would still not boot but again gethung up on one of the following messages: Grub Loading Stage1.5 Read Erroror Grub Read ErrorI deleted the Stage1.5 files, reran grub again, and sure,the Stage1.5 error message went away but the machine wouldnow get hung up on "Stage2 error".I finally INSTALLED a new OS, CentOS 5.5, the install completedbut on booting, I still get "Grub Stage2" errors.On this re-install, I left all p

I though the problem to be one of those dual boot/Vista problems... But after reading and making all those grub /boot/grub/menu.1st stuff I read...nothing helped... I took away the Vista disk... leaving only one HDD purely for linux... Again - failed! The problem might be, that since the smaller HDD is still with the old cable (the wide one) and the motherboard has only one slot for this cable, I had to connect it together with the DVD rom. Now, again, as with or without 320GB hdd, I can complete the installation, it recognises all the discs...and with live CD I can surf all partitions... But Grub somehow fails to read it... I tried with jumpers - made DVD master HDD slave and opposite... same thing always Grub Loading----stage 2Read Error... The Grub Menu never appears... I am really out of options here... should I format the 40GB to Fat32 and Install Linux so that it puts himself after that? Maybe first GB would be Fat and then linux partition begins? Should it help... ? Adv Reply October 4th, 2008 #2 Pumalite View Profile View Forum Posts Private Message Only Linux Join Date Mar 2007 Location Here & Now Beans 16,54

Hi friends, I have a xeon machine with 3 hard disks and 512 mb of grub loading RAM. I have RHEL 7 installed in this machine. I installed RHEL AS 4 on it. I formatted all the partitions and created new ones as per need. The installation went successful but when i was asked to reboot the machine...it is hanging with the message "GRUB loading stage2.....".I did not create any boot partition as i was advised it is not mandatory... Why it is not proceeding forward.? Any help would be appreciated... Thanks in advance Reply With Quote 09-01-2007,05:25 AM grub loading stage2 #2 saikee View Profile View Forum Posts I'm totally not hacked. Join Date Jun 2004 Location Newcastle upon Tyne Posts 2,971 I sounds as though you have replaced RHEL 7 with RHEL AS 4 except the omission of Grub. I don't know where you get the idea from installing Grub not mandatory but the old Grub will have its stage1 (just 512 bytes) left in the MBR and cannot boot its stage2 which has since been formatted and the new one is possibly located at the hard disk but not exactly the same address.
