no option to boot to linux

[einstejn]

I just installed kubuntu on a 2nd hdd, but when I start my pc theres no option to boot to it. any ideas to get this to work? this is my first linux install, so go easy on me.

[meierfra.]

Probably you just have to change the boot order in the bios.

[dongiuseppe2684]

Do you even get the GRUB menu when you boot? Also install partition editor to see if anything is detecting your second hard disk. But yes also make sure you BIOS settings are correct.

[einstejn]

I installed partition magic and it shows the second hdd and it shows linux on it. What kind of bios settings do i need to make? right now I have hard drive set as first boot option. and I don't see grub start at all just goes straight to windows. I have three hdd's installed if that makes a difference.

You please post your hard-disk partition structure

[einstejn]

Is this what you want?

I don't know much about booting when it comes to multiple hard-disks. But, I guess this may help you:
1. Boot using Kubuntu Live Disk
2. Open Terminal and type

sudo grub //specifying boot directory
grub> root (hd1,0)
grub> setup (hd1) //installs GRUB at MBR
quit
3. Change name of your menu.lst file (must be in Linux partition of Disk-2 with /boot/grub/menu.lst) to menu.lst.backup
4. There you create a new file named menu.lst and write:
(But, if your hard-disk is 'hd', then use 'hd' instead of 'sd', and write proper files names of vmlinuz* and initrd* by looking in your /boot directory)

default saved
timeout 5
fallback 0
title Kubuntu @ /dev/sdb0
map (hd0) (hd1)
map (hd1) (hd0)

right now I have hard drive set as first boot option

Have a closer look at your bios: Some bios have a separate setting where you can choose the boot order of the individual hard drives.

But if you cannot change the boot order in the bios, then I suggest to get SupperGrub

http://www.supergrubdisk.org/

Follow the direction from this page:

http://www.supergrubdisk.org/wiki/Howto_Fix_Grub

Try the "Windows Solution" first. If that does not work, try the "Quick Solution" and then the "Not So Quick Solution"


munishvit's directions will only work if you can set your bios to boot from the Kubuntu drive. But in that case you might not have to reinstall grub anyway. So I wouldn't use the LiveCD to reinstall grub at this stage. (But you might have to do it later)

Do not edit the "Kubuntu" part of menu.lst. It is extremely unlikely that there is anything wrong with that part of menu.lst
You probably will have to edit the Windows item. But I wouldn't worry about that until you are able to boot into Kubuntu.

[einstejn]

I tried the windows option which didn't work and there are know instructions for the other two options.

[meierfra.]

For the other two options you have to create a regular SuperGrub CD. Click on Download CDROM in the upper right corner of the main supergrub page: http://www.supergrubdisk.org/ (http://www.supergrubdisk.org/)

[einstejn]

Can't seem to get it to work. If I were to install it on the same hdd as my windows xp would that take care of the problem? Or would a different distrobution of linux work better?

[meierfra.]

If I were to install it on the same hdd as my windows xp would that take care of the problem?

It might, but my guess would be not.

But it should be possible to manually install grub correctly. I need some information.

1) Boot from the regular Super Grub disk. Go to

"Choose language and no help" -> "English support Grub disk" -> "Support" -> "Show Hard Disks' partition Layouts".

Look for the line with "Ubuntu" in the description. Something like


4 (hd2,4) extfs 10GB Ubuntu .......

Of course the numbers will be different. Please post the "(hd2,4)" part.


2) Boot from your Ubuntu Live CD and download the Boot Info Script to the Live CD desktop:

https://sourceforge.net/projects/bootinfoscript/

Then open a terminal (Applications > Accessories > Terminal) and type:


sudo bash ~/Desktop/boot_info_script*.sh

That will create a "RESULTS.txt" file in the same directory from where the script is run, namely your desktop; please copy/paste the contents of the RESULTS.txt file to your next post, highlight the copied text, and click the pound/hash sign "#" graphic button in the Ubuntu forum message box so that the text will get "code" tags put around it. The results of that script will help clarify your setup.

[einstejn]

I made a supergrub cd but I can not boot from it for some reaseon, I used imgburn

[meierfra.]

Well, just run the "boot info script" and post the "RESULTS.txt".
(The output from SuperGrub just would have made things a little easier)

[einstejn]

I keep getting "no such file or directory" ?

Since I don't know wether the Ubuntu drive is second or third in the boot order, you will have to try two different options to reinstall grub:

So boot from the LiveCD, open a terminal and type



sudo grub

and at the grub prompt:



device (hd0) /dev/sdb
device (hd1) /dev/sdc
root (hd1,0)
setup (hd0)
quit



Reboot.

Only if the Grub Menu does not appear:

boot from the LiveCD and open a terminal. Type


sudo grub

and at the grub prompt:



device (hd0) /dev/sdb
device (hd2) /dev/sdc
root (hd2,0)
setup (hd0)
quit


Reboot.


If the Grub Menu Appeared:

Boot into Ubuntu. Once you successfully booted into Ubuntu, you need to edit "menu.lst" to be able to boot into Windows from the Grub menu:

Open the file "menu.lst" via


gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst

Change

title Windows Vista/Longhorn (loader)
root (hd1,0)
savedefault
makeactive
map (hd0) (hd1)
map (hd1) (hd0)
chainloader +1

to

title Windows Vista/Longhorn (loader)
root (hd0,0)
chainloader +1

Save the file. Reboot and see whether you can boot into Vista.

[einstejn]

Alright the first option came up with error 17 and the second option worked, I can now boot to kubuntu. Now as for booting to windows xp, I typed "gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst" in the terminal and it says: the program 'gksudo' is currently not installed. you can install it by typing: sudo apt-get install gksu. so I did and now when I type "sudo apt-get install gksu" it says: (gksudo:6757): Gtk-WARNING **: libbonoboui-2.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

[meierfra.]

Sorry, I forgot that you have kubuntu and not ubuntu.

Use


kdesu kate /boot/grub/menu.lst

[einstejn]

hmm, I got command not found

[meierfra.]

Strange.

Try


sudo nano /boot/grub/menu.lst

This will open the file inside the terminal . Look at the bottom of the screen for instructions how to save the file ("^" means the "Ctrl" key).

[einstejn]

That didn't seem to work theres only an option to boot to kubuntu

Nothing else. Just those three lines.
Also make sure that it does not end up on just one line. It needs to be on three lines. (if it is on one line, it will not show up in the Grub menu).

oh, I searched google for a fix, thats where that string of code came from, didn't work though. couldn't get yours to work either.

Great.

Those corresponds to two different kernel. I recommend to keep both kernels on the Grub menu. If something goes wrong with one of them (for example during kernel updates) you still have the other to boot. But I suggest to change

# howmany=all

in menu.lst to

# howmany=2

Then you will never have more than two kernels on your Grub menu.
