    10.10 on new tera byte hd. grub fail

    Hi all, read a few post on here but none are really helping. Wasted quite a lot of time.

    I had a working system running an old 9. Time to update.
    downloaded 10.10 last night.
    Removed the hd and inserted a new 1 Tbyte seagate hd.
    installed 10.10 all good.
    rebooted and it falls to a grub rescue prompt.
    error: out of disk

    I found this,
    basicaly boot from live cd. mount hd, install grub, reboot , update, reboot

    and that allows me to get running again. but then I restart (ie power cycle machine) and im back to grub rescue prompt
    Also typing help at the prompt gives unknown command error

    thoughts?


    Id also like to at some stage install the old hd and copy across data. not sure how to attempt that yet. I dont want to mess up the working ver 9

    So from a booted live Ubuntu cd or thumbdrive lets see the bootscript read out; in my signature just click on it and follow the instructions. Come back to the thread and click on the (#) in the reply panel this makes code tags paste all the text in between.

    So how large was the drive replaced? and how big was the Ubuntu install on it? and how old is the computer as well. On some older computers there are 137 gig limitations, but some have a switch in the bios to read more I believe.

    I was running a 200g and a 160g in the machine prior to this update.
    Machine is maybe 4-5 years old perhaps worse case. its a gigabyte GA 8Ipe775 pentium4 2.3g from memory.

    if I do the grub-install trick as mentioned in first post the system runs fine. I can right/read files etc, sound/video etc is all good. After a number of checks i deemed the 10.10 as a worker..it was only after a power restart things go ape.

    Re: 10.10 on new tera byte hd. grub fail

    So when you load grub, and get in have you run.
    sudo update-grub?

    Have you tried just loading grub and either kernel 22 or 24 independently the rebooted to see if it may be the 24 kernel.
    Each time running.
    sudo update-grub

    Have you looked on the web with this model of HD and Ubuntu compatibility. There have been seagates that did not work. I 'm wondering if there may be some sort of firmware on this HD, just conjecture though.

    As far as I can tell the script looks correct.

    Re: 10.10 on new tera byte hd. grub fail

    setup grub to boot 22 instead of 24 . confimred this with numerous restarts. then did the shutdown and sure enough it boots to original error
    errorut of disk



    so 22 is no different

    however I did a ctrl alt reset instead of the normal turn off and go for a walk to calm down. it rebooted, grub ran and ubuntu came up??

    whats going on aggghghghghghghghhgh

    Re: 10.10 on new tera byte hd. grub fail

    I have seen several users with large drives and similar issues. Notice in the script that your grub files are near the end of the drive. While it should work, it seems that grub gives up or times out.

    I would shrink your root partition to 25GB and make the rest /home or /home & a /data partition.

    The system will work very slightly better if all the system files are closer together on the hard drive anyway, so drive does not have to search so much.

    You can reinstall or move /home to the new partition.

    To move /home uses rsync (create mount may be missinig)
    https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Pa...ng/Home/Moving
    Uses cp -ax
