Public bug reported: OS: Ubuntu 8.04.1 Server
I updated the server with via ssh using sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude safe-upgrade Aptitude updated the server kernel from "2.6.24 -19 server" too "2.6.24-21 server". After the update/upgrade the server could not boot, and the error message "Grub error 17" was given. Please notice that I have _not_ deleted any partitions, I have not changed menu.lst myself before this happend, there is no other OS on the PC, and I have not changed the sata connections at all. To fix the problem I used a livecd and wrote this in a terminal: sudo grub find /boot/grub/stage1 The answer I got was: (hd3,1) root (hd3,1) setup (hd3) The answer I got was: /boot/grub/menu.lst Succeeded quit After rebooting the PC I got an new error: Error 22 No Such partition Every kernels I tried from the menu.lst ended up with the same error. Here is some information about the system(from running a livecd): ubu...@ubuntu:~$ sudo fdisk -l Disk /dev/sda: 400.0 GB, 400088457216 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 48641 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Disk identifier: 0x00018dcc Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 1 48641 390708801 83 Linux Disk /dev/sdb: 400.0 GB, 400088457216 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 48641 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Disk identifier: 0x0330391b Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sdb1 1 48641 390708801 83 Linux Disk /dev/sdc: 400.0 GB, 400088457216 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 48641 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Disk identifier: 0x4bfbc829 Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sdc1 1 48641 390708801 83 Linux Disk /dev/sdd: 1000.2 GB, 1000204886016 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 121601 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Disk identifier: 0x000e4f3e Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sdd1 1 243 1951866 82 Linux swap / Solaris /dev/sdd2 * 244 1216 7815622+ 83 Linux /dev/sdd3 1217 10966 78316875 83 Linux /dev/sdd4 10967 121601 888675637+ 83 Linux ----------------------------- END / is stored on /dev/sdd2 /home i stored on /dev/sdd3 /dev/sdd4 is one LVM The hard drives called /dev/sda1, /dev/sdb1 and /dev/sdc1 is one LVM.
