Re: Boot problem : Operating System not found.

2012-03-17 Thread Bruno Costacurta

It would've been helpful not to have snipped the drive partition
info section! :)



You have a gpt-labelled disk but sda1 isn't OK. As File system, it
should have BIOS Boot partition. Boot sector type and Boot sector
info cannot be right but I don't know what they should be.



The two looks at sector seem *very* wrong.


OK, hereafter I added the drive info produced by boot_info_script.sh.
I'll also try the SuperGrub2Disk ASAP.

But GRUB does appear in this case. What happens is that it hangs when

[snip]

Yes, it works when booting using a SuperGrub2Disk CD.

From SuperGrub2Disk boot menu :
Detect any OS - Debian correctly found on /dev/sda4 - boot is OK.

So I suppose the GRUB on the hard disk is incorrectly setup.
As the boot-info script reported in previous email.
Note that others distros (Xubuntu and Sabayon) boots correctly.

So how to correct GRUB regarding Debian problem ?
Manually or using tools (certainly preferred solution )?
I already ran update-grub but without any success.

I would first try to manually boot Debian from GRUB2 console. Based on 
the information you've provided and the link I previously sent, it should 
be something like this:

***
set root=(hd0,gpt4)
linux /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/sda4 ro
initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.32-5-amd64
boot

 I suppose this is an interesting info.
 What happened ?

 I check the UUID (via GRUB2 - ls) it is identical as the one specified in

What's the output of bootinfoscript?

I don't know what's going on, but I would try to manually boot the Debian 
kernel from GRUB2 console. As you're using GRUB2 from Ubuntu, you could 
try these steps:

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Boot_a_Specific_Kernel_Manually
 
 I check the UUID (via GRUB2 - ls) it is identical as the one specified
 in the GRUB parameters.

Maybe what can't find is the root disk/partition (hdx,x).

Besides, it can be an error coming from GRUB2 itself, that's why I still 
suggest that you try to boot your Debian system from SuperGrub2Disk which 
is distribution-unaware.

As a side note, when using a multi-boot configuration I prefer to install 
the bootloader of every operating system inside its own partition, 
whether possible (windows does not allow this, I guess, it puts its NT 
loader on the MBR we like it or not). But on linux and bsd systems you 
can install both, Ubuntu and Debian, and each of them with their own 
GRUB2.
