Hi, I'm trying to boot into my wheezy and am prompted with grub> minimal shell instead. I could boot a few weeks ago. I can't understand what's going on now. Here are important data: when in the grub> shell I do the following in this order: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- grub> ls (hd0) (hd0,msdos1)
grub> search --file /vmlinuz hd0,msdos1 grub> set root=(hd0,1) grub> linux /vmlinuz root=/dev/sda1 grub> initrd /initrd.img grub> boot ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- and linux boots perfectly into my wheezy. But what's that (hd0,msdos1)?? I have only debian on this laptop. Here's my partition table: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- root@latitude:~# parted -ls Model: ATA WDC WD2500BEVE-0 (scsi) Disk /dev/sda: 250GB Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B Partition Table: msdos Number Start End Size Type File system Flags 1 1049kB 246GB 246GB primary ext4 boot 2 246GB 250GB 4291MB extended 5 246GB 250GB 4291MB logical linux-swap(v1) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- So I tried to make the changes permanent by this command: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- root@latitude:~# dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc Installation finished. No error reported. Generating grub.cfg ... Found background image: /usr/share/images/desktop-base/desktop-grub.png Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-3.14-0.bpo.2-486 Found initrd image: /boot/initrd.img-3.14-0.bpo.2-486 Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-3.2.0-4-486 Found initrd image: /boot/initrd.img-3.2.0-4-486 No volume groups found done ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- As far as I can understand, the issue seems resolved, but as soon as I reboot, I receive the grub> prompt again! Could you please give me some hint on this issue? Thank you very much in advance. -- Roberto
