Hello,
After resizing partition following directions on the LFS book and elsewhere, I get only to GRUB rescue mode now. My original partitions were: ******************************************* /dev/sda1 Linux ext4 start at 2048 ................end at 974694399 on a 464 GB hard disk /dev/sda2 Extended /dev/sda5 swap partition /dev/zram0 /dev/zram1 Host system is Lubuntu 16.04 LTS on Intel PC. I was going to create a 20 GB partition named /dev/sda3 by reducing the size of /dev/sda1 using fdisk. I was able to get 'version-check.sh' to run ok in preparation, as described in LFS book. But after using fdisk and rebooting, I only get GRUB rescue prompt now. Searched many forums, one specially got my attention (https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2213466), also Google'd as ( https://www.google.com/search?ei=2I4OW8b3NYnXzgL9noLQCA&q=reboot+only+gives+grub+rescue+prompt+not+able+to+reboot+from+disk&oq=reboot+only+gives+grub+rescue+prompt+not+able+to+reboot+from+disk&gs_l=psy-ab.3...596982.615277.0.616448.77.71.2.0.0.0.489.11166.0j24j13j9j1.47.0....0...1c.1.64.psy-ab..30.30.6790...0j0i67k1j0i10k1j0i10i67k1j0i22i30k1j0i22i10i30k1j33i160k1j33i21k1.0.EdD6Qjtxbo0) but haven't found a way out just as yet. Tried booting from liveCD of Lubuntu, also Boot Repair and GParted ISO's, but it does not boot from CD/DVD, only has option from floppy and hard disk as Boot First device on Boot Menu of BIOS. Here are some standard output from "grub rescue>" when turning computer on: error: attempt to read or write outside of partition Entering rescue mode... grub rescue> ls (hd0) (hd0,msdos5) (hd0,msdos1) (fd0) grub rescue>ls (hd0)/boot error: unknown filesystem. grub rescue> ls (hd0,msdos5)/boot error: unknown filesystem. grub rescue> ls (hd0,msdos1)/boot error: attempt to read or write outside of partition grub rescue> ls / ./ ../ lost+found/ etc/ media/ var/ bin/ boot/ dev/ home/ lib/ mnt/ .ssh/ proc/ root/ run/ sbin/ vmlinuz srv/ sys/ tmp/ usr/ initrd.img initrd.img.old .rpmdb/ snap/ cdrom/ opt/ core vmlinuz.old forcefsck grub rescue> set root=(hd0)/ grub rescue> insmod linux error: attempt to read or write outside of partition. grub rescue> _ Hope someone can point a way out of this situation as I resolved to finally improve my Linux skills and installing LFS on a 2006 desktop is a first test.
