Grub Loading Stage2 F5
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 grub loading stage2 stuck 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 wyse grub loading stage2 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 partitions sizes the same andso /boot was the same size, same location.---------And so, I can't boot off of this disk. I normally would suspectthat the disk has to be discarded _expect_ that in rescue modeI can mount all partitions and have access to all files.What more can I do? Is there some way to repair the MBRthat I have not done?---------One more piece of information. In /var/log/messages, for the lastmonth, I was seeing the following information regularly at leastonce every two days:> Dec 21 16:04:33 localhost kernel: >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Dump Card State Begins <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

Hi friends, I have a xeon machine with 3 hard disks and 512 mb of 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 http://forums.justlinux.com/showthread.php?150251-GRUB-loading-stage2-error 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 #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.

Pfff.... this moring i've download the DVD... and the CD (boot.iso) to try to boot Fedora. I've update the system with the boot CD and the DVD (it was on my harddisk...i've not burn it onto a real DVD, i've burn only the CDROM). I've a problem with GRUB. When i start the computer, it says: "GRUB Loading stage2..." then it hangs forever.... and nothing else appears on the screen.
