[Bug 1316068] Re: error: disk 'hd0,msdos5' not found
Same here with Linux Mint 17 Qiana. Upgraded the distro, upgrade the kernel to 4.X. Boom ! no more booting. Same repeating errors of (hd0,msdos5) not found for any command I type on the grub command line at boot time. I don't know how to reinstall the windows MBR yet. A grub- install from a rescue CD didn't resolve the problem. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1316068 Title: error: disk 'hd0,msdos5' not found To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/1316068/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

The problem was still there after upgrading to 16.04LTS. I fixed it by first reinstalling the windows MBR, then reinstalling grub2-2.02.

[Bug 1316068] Re: error: disk 'hd0,msdos5' not found
Hello, As instructed, I disconnected the other drives, leaving the main harddrive and the DVD-RW drive. This did not had any effect: grub 2.02 showed the same error: error: disk 'hd0,msdos5' not found. booting from a CD and restoring grub 2.00 (sudo dkpg -i grub* in the directory where I keep a copy of the grub debs) put the system back in bootable state. I have attached the device.map file found in /boot/grub. The identification of hd0 is correct. Also in grub.cfg, one can read: if [ x$feature_platform_search_hint = xy ]; then search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root --hint-bios=hd0,msdos5 --hint-efi=hd0,msdos5 --hint-baremetal=ahci0,msdos5 --hint='hd0,msdos5' 94ecf542-619c-4fe7-bfed-672fa7bb2739 else search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root 94ecf542-619c-4fe7-bfed-672fa7bb2739 fi The uuid is indeed the one of hd0,msdos5. msdos5 (or sda5) is the first partition within the extended partition sda3. sda1 sda2 are primary partitions for Windows. sda6 is the swap, and sda7 is mounted as /home. Could this be troubling Grub? The configuration of the hardware hasn't changed since I assembled it, and installed the Windows and Xubuntu. I am still ready to help and test whatever solution you may come up with.

[Bug 1316068] Re: error: disk 'hd0,msdos5' not found
That indeed looks like bad disk order. Mathieu, would you be open to trying to disconnect the other drives, leaving just the right one in place and seeing if grub is happy then? I would expect you'd only need to disconnect power to the other drives. Following the same train of thought, is it possible additional drives where added after xubuntu was installed? We should be able to either generate a new device map to account for the unexpected behavior, or get rid of an old stale one. ** Changed in: grub2 (Ubuntu) Status: New = Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1316068 Title: error: disk 'hd0,msdos5' not found To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/1316068/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
