Linux Kernel Must Be Loaded Before Initrd
be loaded before booting" error Hi all! I just installed fedora 10 using the GUI install, and when I try to boot, it gets me to the grub command line grub> when i enter 'boot', it gives me grub error 8: kernel must be loaded before booting. Not sure how to fix this, any help is appreciated. (I'm pretty new to linux). Also, I used to have fedora 9, and i had an option to boot fedora or 'other', which is windows. How kernel must be loaded before booting solaris 10 do I go about setting up something similar in this case? EDIT: Also, when I type root, it tells me that the partition (hd2,0) (i assume the one i installed FC10: 3rd hdd, first partition) is an unspecified file system ... I think something happened to grub when it removed my old partition with FC9...

It sounds like you may have upgrade-installed from Fedora 9. Anyway, it happens often enough. I agree with your desire to manually boot the system from that grub> prompt, but you can't just enter "boot" as you found out. You must do that after a couple of other commands (e.g., root, kernel, and initrd). For example, starting with the root command at the grub> prompt... Code: grub> root (hdx,y) You change x & y to the drive & partition of your boot partition where the kernels, initial ramdisks, and GRUB files are located. If you aren't sure of it, then you can find it like this... Code: grub> find /grub/stage1 grub> find /boot/grub/stage1 Do both. One will produce an error, and the other will identify your boot partition. Use that in your root command. Continuing on... Next is the kernel co

Reading FAQ & Readme First is recommended for new users.It seem that GRUB cannot find the menu file. Some information about the disk configuration you used for the installation might help. To debug try the following at the GRUB prompt and see what is returned:Code: Select allfind /boot/grub/stage1
find /grub/stage1You could also try booting from installation media in rescue mode to see if you may need to reinstall GRUB.

Posts: 8 GRUB2 can't load my system Hello everyone,I'm new to Archlinux. After having installed the system and configuring it for a few weeks I decided to install GRUB2. I removed GRUB, installed GRUB2 and rebooted. Now I'm stuck with a https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=81946 command line (grub>) and I can't start my system. I have tried several things, booted with a live CD and changed the grub.cfg file, used the command setup to install GRUB to a different partition. I don't https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2101544 know where to go from here...My grub.cfg looks like this: set timeout=5set default=0menuentry "Arch Linux"set root=(hd0,0)linux /vmlinuz26 root=/dev/sda1 roinitrd /kernel26.imgI have a 250gb SATA HD with 4 partitions (sda1-4). My first partition contains kernel26.img and a kernel must grub folder containing all the files from grub. My system is on the partition sda3.Can anyone help me? If you need more info, please tell me.Thanks.

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 initrd /kernel26.img }I don't know if the brackets are required, they are included in the defaults grub.cfg, and it may be possible that that i

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! Edit- I should also say how I got to this screen. I went to the windows side and set up the boot screen to "see" the Ubuntu boot partition using easyBCD. I then tried to boot to the partition which came up to a command prompt like screen with grub. I typed "boot" and this error message is what occurred. Last edited by highrun; January 5th, 2013 at 04:32 AM.
