I installed ubuntu 9.10 but it hung on boot, no boot loader message, nothing. So I grabbed the Super Grub Disk (on USB pen drive) to look for the culprit.
I cannot get the system to boot, on submitting the "kernel" command, it hangs. This is what I tried: ---START---OF---GRUB---SESSIONB--- (boot with Super Grub Disk and exit to GRUB command prompt) grub> dfisklu 1 (hd0,0) fat 1 GB WINDOWS 5 (hd1,4) ext2fs 1 TB 1 (hd2,0) ext2fs 3 GB Ubuntu 9.10 \n \l 1 (hd3,0) ext2fs 3 GB Ubuntu 9.10 \n \l 5 (hd3,4) ext2fs 1 TB grub> find /vmlinuz (hd2,0) (hd3,0) grub> root (hd2,0) Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0xfd grub> kernel /vmlinuz [Linux-bzImage, setup=0x3400, size=0x3bef40] ..... then it hangs ........... ---END---OF---GRUB---SESSIONB--- Additional information: I partitioned my 3 HDDs the same: 4 GB and the remaining 1,5 TB 2 of the 3 4 GB partitions are configured as operating as one RAID1 mirroring cluster. The remaining 4 GB is configured as swap area. All 3 1,5 TB partitions build a RAID5 device - /dev/hda1 ... 4 GB ... RAID1 mirrored root partition (mounted at /) - /dev/hda2 ... 1 TB ... RAID5 data area (mounted at /data) - /dev/hdb1 ... 4 GB ... RAID1 mirrored root partition (mounted at /) - /dev/hdb2 ... 1 TB ... RAID5 data area (mounted at /data) - /dev/hdc1 ... 4 GB ... Swap area - /dev/hdc2 ... 1 TB ... RAID5 data area (mounted at /data) Thanx a lot for any useful hints!
