I have had a similar problem with a fresh ubuntu 9.10 install on a Thinkpad R40e.
On my system I was just getting "error: no such device" and "press any key to continue" immediately without even seeing the grub menu. Pressing a key just repeated the same message. Whats more, when booting from the CD there is no "Rescue a broken system" option. I was able to comment out the three lines Felix mentioned in post #10 above, by booting the live CD, mounting my hard disk from there, and then editing the grub-mkconfig_lib file within. However I'm not sure of how to run the "update-grub" command without the rescue option, since presumably it needs to be run on the installed system itself. Editing the grub-mkconfig_lib file alone has changed the behaviour slightly. Now I at least get the grub menu, but selecting one of the options returns me to the familiar "press any key to continue" message. So I still can't boot my system. Can anyone advise how to run the update-grub command in my situation where the rescue option is missing? -- Grub 2 problem, error: no such device https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/403408 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
