aqk; Hello;
Might try and (RE-)install grub from the liveDVD(USB) ?
Check what partition 'root' is installed to:
from the liveDVD:
check that kernels are intalled and boot files are in place:
from the liveDVD, mount the partition and have a look:
Code:
sudo mkdir /mnt/look
sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/look
ls -al /mnt/look/boot
ls -al /mnt/look/boot/grub/grub.cfg
sudo umount /mnt/look
Here it is 'sda1' that holds 'root'.
If all looks good, then (re-)install grub:
Code:
sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt
sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt /dev/sda
sudo umount /mnt
Again, "assuming" sda1 holds the root file system, that sda holds ubuntu, that there is no separate /boot partition.
Reboot into the install to a terminal, and run:
