This may well be a quite different issue from that of the original reporter, who has so far not indicated whether they were using BIOS or UEFI. Your issue is #708430. Hi Marco, is this still a problem? If so, could you please provide more information? Like the above question if this is BIOS or EFI

Bug#735932: [grub2-common] Computer does not boot
I had the same problem upgrading from 2.00-22 to 2.02~beta2-5. I am using LVM and UEFI in that computer, and I think that the problem is related to UEFI. I solved this using some recent version of debian testing installer from an USB drive and in the rescue mode: 'dpkg-reconfigure grub-efi-amd64'. If then I run 'dpkg-reconfigure grub-efi-amd64' from the local system, grub is unable to boot again. From another computer without UEFI nor LVM, the upgrade did not cause any problems. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Hi, I have the same problem, which is a symptom of #724756. Unfortunately it is quite hard to recover from that, especially when the system is remote.

Bug#735932: [grub2-common] Computer does not boot
Package: grub2-common Version: 2.00-22 Severity: grave --- Please enter the report below this line. --- This is not the computer that has the grub problem even if this computer has the same source.list and the samepackage installed. The computer that does not boot has several disk installed (SATA, PATA and 1 external USB disk). The problem is born today after the apt-getdist-upgrade command. A disk contains /users directory (the main subdirectory are /users/home and /users/root) and the other disk other imformations. I have completely erased the disk containing the operating system and I have installed from skratch linux again using the Debian Testing of today (CD version - I have used only the first disk). After the installation I have the same problem. Grub says error: file not found This is the worst problem of Debian after years of use, but it is grave! Now I try to install again the system using lilo. SystemRescueCD is not able to perform a chroot on the mounted disk that contains the unbootable operating system. I hope you resolve soon this problem.

I have completely erased the disk containing the operating system and I have installed from skratch linux again using the Debian Testing of today (CD version - I have used only the first disk). After the installation I have the same problem. Grub says error: file not found I can't possibly investigate this without quite a bit more information. To start with, could you please at least attach the /boot/grub/grub.cfg file, the output of debconf-show grub-pc, and also the information that you alluded to here but didn't attach: Please attach the file: /tmp/user/1000/reportbug-ng-grub2-common-FhfDux.txt to the mail. I'd do it myself if the output wasn't too long to handle. Given that you have several disks, I suspect the problem might simply be that you've failed to install GRUB to the disk that your system is actually booting from; the error message above could well be from a half-installed out-of-date version of GRUB on one of those disks, or something similar. This is a common mistake but very difficult for the packaging to defend against since the PC architecture makes it near-impossible to find this information accurately after boot. Running dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc as root and telling it to install to the master boot records of all your non-removable disks is usually a reliable way to fix this.
