Registered: 2006-07-23 Posts: 7 Website Re: GRUB2 can't load my system I believe you need to change the set root line to (hd0,1). Grub2 starts numbering disks from 0 but partitions start from 1, so the Arch Linux part of your grub.cfg should look like:menuentry "Arch Linux" { set root=(hd0,1) linux /vmlinuz26 root=/dev/sda3 ro

I have it burned to a dvd, so I booted the CD, selected to try Ubuntu, then installed inside the "trial" environment. I installed the boot partition as sda6 as /boot, then my root partition was sda7 as /, I made another partition for my home on sda8 as /home. I then made a 4gb swap partition. I did NOT allow it to update, but even when I did allow it to update, the same issue occured. I have another NTFS partition as use as my media partition which is why my boot partition does not start as sda5. Any suggestions, ideas, comments? I'm practically ignorant of Linux, so y'all will have to greatly simplify any suggestions. Thanks in advance! I should also say how I got to th
