Summary: GRUB, error: hd0 out of disk (with linux installed in a second disk) Project: GNU GRUB Submitted by: josealb77 Submitted on: sáb 03 dic 2011 17:52:18 GMT Category: Booting Severity: Major Priority: 5 - Normal Item Group: Software Error Status: None Privacy: Public Assigned to: None Originator Name: josealb77 Originator Email: joseal...@hotmail.com Open/Closed: Open Discussion Lock: Any Release: Release: other Reproducibility: Every Time Planned Release: None _______________________________________________________ Details: Hello, I've tried to solve this issue in the linux mint debian edition forum but they don't know how to help me on, this is the message I wrote there and here is where you can find the post: http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=189&t=86848 ______________________________________________________________ I boot the linuxmint-201109-xfce-dvd-64bit in live-dvd, then I install it, reboot, and get this message: [quote]GRUB loading… Welcome to GRUB! error: hd0 out of disk. Entering recue mode… grub rescue>[/quote] I've got two HDD, a serial ATA with windows 7 and two more partition for games and files, and an ATA HDD with a swap partition, a linux mint ext4 one and finally an ext4 partition for /home. In the BIOs I've got selected the serial as first HDD and the ATA (a Maxtor HDD), as second HDD. In order to boot linux I've got to access to the boot menu (pressing F8 during the BIOS booting), but this is this way because I prefer it so. Recently I installed the gnome version of linux mint (linuxmint-201109-gnome-dvd-64bit), and happened the same, I reinstalled it and was solved by itself, but with the xfce version I've already installed 4 times but it isn't solved by itself. During the instalation with the installer I formated the 3 partitions (swap, / and /home) and selected the mounting points that way. Selected GRUB to be installed in /dev/sdb (the ATA HDD, sda it's the serial ATA, I want this to be that way because I want to leave the serial HDD untouched and whenever I had to use linux boot it with the BIOS' F8 (boot) menu). I've followed these steps from the webpage [url]https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2[/url] but I finish with the same error message: [quote] [b]GRUB 2 Troubleshooting Preparation[/b] GRUB loading… Welcome to GRUB! error: hd0 out of disk.

Grub mess when it's installed in a second disk. As I said, what can I do? _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?34979> _______________________________________________ Mensaje enviado vía/por Savannah http://savannah.gnu.org/ _______________________________________________ Bug-grub mailing list Bug-grub@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-grub
