Hi,
I fully agree with Phill! I personally like to use zsync, as it does
the checksum match automatically for you.
Verify the ISO is correctly downloaded, and then once you have verified
it...
You will need to set the root partition to your specific device
grub supports TAB completion, so use it:
set root=*<TAB>**<TAB>*
You will see a list of items
pick the device that looks correct
something like hd0,msdos1
i.e.
set root=(hd0,1)
linux *<TAB><TAB>
*(I'm using Xenial.. so your kernel will be much different)
you will need to add the root device to this line as well
hd0,1 will be /dev/sda1
hd1,1 will be /dev/sdb1
and so on
i.e. linux /boot/vmlinuz-4.4.0-16-generic root=/dev/sda1
next you need the initial ram disk file
initrd *<TAB><TAB>*
i.e. initrd /boot/initrd.img-4.4.0-16-generic
and for anyone curious about vmlinuz,
vm means virtual memory, and linu = linux the 'z' stands for the
compression (not sure if which one is used).
in a nutshell your process should look something like
set root=(hd0,1)
linux /boot/vmlinuz-4.4.0-16-generic root=/dev/sda1
initrd /boot/initrd.img-4.4.0-16-generic
boot

Hello,
Installed Lubuntu 15.10
PC wont boot
Get grub rescue prompt
Went through a bunch of forums
Tried different partitions
Verified hdd is primary master
Ver set to boot etc
Tried keying in the script attached
Wouldnt accept it
Error-attempt to read or write outside of disk 'hd0'
Would really appreciate a script that will get this to boot. And one
to fix permanently once inside.
Thanks,
Laine
