[Bug 107798] Re: IDE Drive is Listed as SATA with Feisty Live CD and install causes GRUB to be improperly configured (Error 15 on boot)
I am getting the same error on first boot after completing fresh install of 8.04. My configuration is: - one IDE primary drive on which I put only /boot, - one SCSI drive (attached to 'bios-less' controller) on which I put remaing filesystems. I was unable to fix the issue using standard recovery procedures and by manually editing several files like:menu.lst, mtab, fstab. I was able to fix this misconfiguration only with Auto Super Grub Disk. I would like to add that I didn't encounter such issue with OpenSuSE 11 in exact the same configuration. -- IDE Drive is Listed as SATA with Feisty Live CD and install causes GRUB to be improperly configured (Error 15 on boot) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/107798 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I have the same problem, I have a parrallel IDE drive and two SATA drives in RAID.

[Bug 107798] Re: IDE Drive is Listed as SATA with Feisty Live CD and install causes GRUB to be improperly configured (Error 15 on boot)
This is a HUGE bug, which has now rendered my machine completely unbootable/usable. I have Windows XP on my IDE hard drive, which I now cannot boot into. And I have Ubuntu on my USB drive, which I also now cannot boot into. I am composing this message only by booting with my LiveCD. Would anybody who is a Linux *expert* please care to tell me how I can salvage my machine? Note: There are actually several bugs/issues involved here, including the fact that the Ubuntu install to my USB drive actually wrote GRUB to my *hard disk* Master Boot Record (which it never should have done!), so this is neither a small nor a simple issue. So if somebody could please help me salvage my machine from its currently unusable state, I would greatly appreciate it. P.S. Ironically, there is also a very serious Windows XP Recovery Console bug, which prevents me from simply restoring my MBR for Windows. (If a machine comes pre-installed with WinXP via Sysprep (e.g. Dell Computer), the local Administrator password is not recognized, which prevents entering Recovery Console.) So, in summary: I am now very screwed due to these multiple, major, overlapping bugs. Please help.

[Bug 107798] Re: IDE Drive is Listed as SATA with Feisty Live CD and install causes GRUB to be improperly configured (Error 15 on boot)
Hi Benjamin, to fix this, you will have to either boot using your live-cd and mount the partition that contains your GRUB config or manually edit the boot options for GRUB via the boot loader to boot correctly once and then do the same change in your GRUB config as well. In any case, you will have to alter the 'groot' variable in /boot/grub/menu.lst to point to the correct root device (the partition where the linux kernel resides). In my case, I had to set 'groot' to '(hd0,0)', which is the first partition on my first disk. For e.g. the 1st partition on your second drive, it would be 'groot=(hd1,0)' and so on.

Hi Benjamin, just as Matthias said. To manually edit the GRUB option, just select the system to boot (Ubuntu or Windows), and instead of Enter, press 'E'. If I remember correctly, 'E' again, scroll left, and change the path to the right /dev entry (for Windows, I guess it would be /dev/hda1, if it is IDE). Enter, 'B', and there you go.

[Bug 107798] Re: IDE Drive is Listed as SATA with Feisty Live CD and install causes GRUB to be improperly configured (Error 15 on boot)
Benjamin, your post doesn't make any indication of the 'groot' variable of which I was speaking. The source of the problems summarized in this bug report is that the GRUB root partition (the partition where the boot loader program is installed) is sometimes set incorrectly by the Ubuntu installer. You will have to set this very variable to the proper partition. In particular, note that 'groot' != 'root'. Search your menu.lst file for an entry like 'groot=(hdX,Y)' and adjust it properly. Setting groot to an invalid value will break bootstrapping the boot loader itself. -- IDE Drive is Listed as SATA with Feisty Live CD and install causes GRUB to be improperly configured (Error 15 on boot) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/107798 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Actually, there was a little mistake in the last comment. The automagic section is written at install time, and it contained the hda1 part, so that is why every new kernel release uses it.

It is still there in Gutsy, AND not just at install time. Any time the kernel is updated, it messes up the grub record, setting the root back to /dev/hda1. This is very stupid, I have to correct it after every linux image update. Also, kernel updates do not honor the previous settings at all, I removed quiet from the grub line and now it is back.

I can confirm this bug for Gutsy final, 2.6.20-16-generic #2 SMP Sun Sep 23 19:50:39 UTC 2007 i686 GNU/Linux. GRUB incorrectly mapped my root partition to hd(1,0), when it should be hd(0,0). This is because for some strange reason, Ubuntu Gutsy mapped my first IDE drive to /dev/sdb and not to /dev/sda. You can fix this issue by setting the groot variable in /boot/grub/menu.lst to the proper value. This is an absolute show stopper for Linux/computer newbies.

[Bug 107798] Re: IDE Drive is Listed as SATA with Feisty Live CD and install causes GRUB to be improperly configured (Error 15 on boot)
I am not sure if it is the same bug, but I believe so. I have recently installed Feisty on a Dell Optiplex 745. It only has one SATA drive, and no IDE drives. LiveCD started without any problems, and I was able to install Kubuntu on the system easily. However, after that the installed system did not boot. It would just hang for ~3 seconds, and then stop, and bring me to the ash shell. I tried to start it with acpi=off, and other changes I found on the net, but to no avail. At last, however, I realized that the problem was that the grub entry was incorrect: the root was set to /dev/hda1, while the correct root is, obviously /dev/sda1. After changing it in menu.lst, I was able to boot into the system. However, this is still a problem since when I installed the 2.6.20-16 linux image, it also set the root to /dev/hda1, and again I had to set it to /dev/sda1 manually. -- IDE Drive is Listed as SATA with Feisty Live CD and install causes GRUB to be improperly configured (Error 15 on boot) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/107798 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Please include the following additional information, if you have not already done so (please pay attention to lspci's additional options), as required by the Ubuntu Kernel Team: 1. Please include the output of the command uname -a in your next response. It should be one, long line of text which includes the exact kernel version you're running, as well as the CPU architecture. 2. Please run the command dmesg dmesg.log and attach the resulting file dmesg.log to this bug report. 3.
