Hi, yesterday I decided to install Deepin in a dual boot. I later decided I no longer needed/wanted it so I deleted the partition. Apparently I had grub on that partition as well, and now my laptop only goes to grub rescue and will not boot.
I have an acer aspire v5 touch. Removing the hard drive is not an option. I have tried to access UEFI but my computer just beeps and goes to grub rescue. I have grub rescue disk on a flash drive, I used unetbootin to do that, but iI cannot get to any boot menu (f12), and when I use ls (hd0)/ I get a unknown file system error. Please help, and sorry for my grammar/formatting, I'm on mobile.
Tl;dr: Deleted partition containing grub and deepin, now can only get to grub rescue, and I keep getting an unknown file system error, please help.
I have a dual boot laptop with debian stable & Windows 7.
The HD partitions a
sda1: NTFS for W7
sda2: FAT32 (currently unused)
sda3: linux /boot
sda4: linux ext4, which is LVM with encryption
I've re-installed W7 and now need to recover the MBR & grub menu.
I've booted with the netinst usb in rescue mode, but it fails to mount the root partition /sda4:
"An error occured while mounting the device you entered for your root file system (/dev/sda4) on /target"
and /var/syslog shows:
Code:
rescue-mode: selected root device '/dev/sda4'
umount: cant umount /target: Invalid argument
isofs_fill_super: bread failed, dev=sda4, iso_blknum=16, block=32
EXT2-fs (sda4): error: unable to readsuperblock
EXT3-fs (sda4): error: unable to readsuperblock
rescue: mount: mounting /dev/sda4 on /target failed: Invalid argument
So it seems like something is wrong with the mount command?
Would appreciate suggestions how to solve this.
Thanks
hey i've just installed SUSE and used this link to configure proxy to have internet access. but that isn't suficcent
http://www.unixmen.com/how-to-enable-proxy-on-opensuse/
now the settings is correct because it works on nearby ubuntu.
i'm connecting with both with USB2LAN
any ideas?
I recently crashed my LMDE system, and trying to retrieve something from the disaster, booted up the failsafe OS and copied a number of files onto a USB stick using the 'cp'command.
'ls -alrt /media/dougb' showed that the files were present and correct on the stick.
However when I attached the stick to a working LMDE PC there appeared to be nothing on it, whether I looked at the stick in the desktop file manager or by listing in a terminal.
I've tried changing the permissions and/or ownership of the files (via the broken OS) without success.
Why aren't the files visible? What can I do about it?
Hello!
TL;DR: Deleted Linux partition from Windows. Stuck at Grub rescue prompt.
I'm sorry to trouble you guys, because I'm an idiot.
So I'm wanting to dual-boot Kalilinux and Windows 8.
I went through the steps such as creating a bootable USB, changing the
boot order and so on. I get into Kali, start Gparted and try to partition stuff.
I'm far from an expert, so I wasn't sure what to do. Long-story short, I
didn't seem to get Kali installed correctly, due to something with an EFI
drive being required. So I boot into windows and then stupidly, because it said in the guide,try to "uninstall" Kali by removing it's partition, inside Win8 haha... So I did.
Now I simply get the Grub rescue command prompt when I boot from the same
USB and I have no idea how to fix it. I've run bootrec.exe/fixmbr in Windows haha,
for what it's worth. However Grub can't find any partition it says.
In windows, I have like... 2-3 Recovery partitions. Does anyone know how to remove
them??? I've tried to clear as much as I can, besides the C drive and Auxillary D drive.
Any advice would be very appreciated.
hello! im using linux suse 11, i need to install network drivers hv tried with this command sudo/sbin/insmod -f but it comes out with an error.
I just cloned a Centos7 "everything install" VM to a physical disk using VMWare Workstation and Clonezilla using the instructions he https://www.howtoforge.com/convertin...cal-machine-p2
Now, when the clone (physical disk) boots up, it drops into the command line with this:
Quote:
dracut-initqueue[417]: Warning: Could not boot.
dracut-initqueue[417]: Warning: /dev/disk/by-uuid/4b8b5627-9027-46f7-b722-61d3ddd28e74 does not exist Starting dracut emergency shell...
What I've tried:
1. I checked /etc/fstab and the proper UUIDs are there, including the one above.
2. Tried booting via USB stick installer into rescue mode, chroot /mnt/sysimage , and:
Quote:
mv /boot/initramfs-$(uname -r).img /boot/initramfs-$(uname -r)-oh_crud.img
and then
Quote:
dracut /boot/initramfs-$(uname -r).img $(uname -r)
...but I get this:
Quote:
cat: write error: Broken pipe
When I enter "blkid", I see the HD in question showing up as both /dev/block... and /dev/sdb... I tried "lshw -class disk" but it says "command not found". Finally, the rescue shell says it is mounting my disk in /mnt/sysimage and all my files are where they should be, so it appears it is seeing and mounting the HD.
Any suggestions? I am a n00b, so going off a lot of google and not a lot of understanding here.
Help!! In 12.04.5 Ubuntu, the /boot directory was full and had a lot of duplicate files from different dates, some I thought were unnecessary headers of updates. However, one series of files was called vmlinuz-3.2.0-29-generic. I moved all the files to /obsolete_files. I rebooted after having trouble upgrading packages (I think this is a second problem with this machine). I now get the following prompt.
grub rescue>
Is there a way to access the directory system so that I can move those files back? I really only need to retrieve one or two files off the system.
Code:
grub rescue>ls
(hd0) (hd0,msdos5) (hd0,msdos1) (fd0)
It doesn't under boot, or insmod. I can set prefixes. Am I doomed?
Hi,
Just downloaded the "systemrescuecd-x86-4.5.2". I then mounted it, created a bootable USB stick. I then copied the source to it. I also copied the source to my PXE server. However, all though the program works brilliantly when booting it from USB, I cannot get it to load completely via the PXE method - basically via PXE boot, I do not see the selection menu.
I hope somebody with more experience can shed some light on this matter, as Linux is not one of my strong points.
The following is my PXE servers config:
LABEL rescue32_3
MENU LABEL ^System Rescue CD 32 bit
KERNEL sysresccd/isolinux/rescue32
APPEND initrd=/sysresccd/isolinux/initram.igz,/sysresccd/sysrcd.dat
Using the above config, PXE Linux appears to find and load the following on the client:
Loading sysresccd/isolinux/rescue32... ok
Loading sysresccd/isolinux/initram.igz... ok
Loading sysresccd/sysrcd.dat... ok
The first sign of the issue during PXE boot is when the program starts to load from RAM on the client:
Reading all physical volumes. This may take a while...
Searching for /sysrcd.dat on devices...
Attempting to mount device: /dev/sda...
Various other attempts to mount volumes and then:
!Cannot find device with /sysrcd.dat. Retrying...
This issue then propagates for other volumes and then displays:
!Cannot find device with /sysrcd.dat on devices.
Running a mini shell (cannot complete the boot process)
bin/sh: can't access tty: job control turned off
Any help would be very much appreciated, as it would be a shame not to be able to use this fantastic resource via PXE.
Kind regards,
