First of all to thank for the work done by the GNU Second, request patience, because I am Spanish and my English is not very good
The problem I have is quite strange: I have installed a GNU-LINUX distribution on an external hard drive, specifically AVL Linux (Audio-Video Distribution) The system boot with grub2, installed in the MBR, without boot partition. On an HP Compaq 8000 Elite computer, everything works fine. However, when I try to boot into another computer, an Acer Aspire M3640 , does not start, giving the error : file ` /boot/i386-pc/normal.md ยด not found and giving me access to the GRUB console When entering the GRUB console and doing ls, it detects all the hard drives, 3 internal and 1 external. The external hard disk names it as hd0 Doing an ls to the external disk, in which I have the system that I want to boot, shows me all the directories it contains : ./ ../ lost+found/ bin/ boot/ dev/ etc/ home/ lib/ lib64 media/ mnt/ opt/ proc/ root/ sbin/ share/ srv/ sys/ tmp/ usr/ var/ But doing ls to the various directories some shows me its content and others do not. Specifically access to lost+found/ home/ media/ mnt/ proc/ root/ sbin/ srv/ And does not access to bin/ boot/ dev/ etc/ lib/ opt/ share/ sys/ tmp/ usr/ var/ These directories display them empty without the ./ or ../ files. I understand that it does not start because it does not have access to /boot/ I do not know the reason , I discard corruption in the software since in the other computer everything works well. I do not know in depth the steps that GRUB does to boot, as I have read, problems can arise with the identification of the different BIOS of the devices, but I think that is not the case because doing ls shows all the hard disks There seems to be some conflict of access permissions, but I do not know how they work in this environment. I appreciate any suggestions for finding a solution. A greeting Felix
