Hey guys,:)

Linux is not booting, I get this message:

Boot from (HD0,0)ext3 a3d32fee-6dob-4bb8-b09d-f2e6754c453d
Error 15: File not found. Press any key to continue...

Here's how it happened. I was facing problems with usplash, so I went to 'startup manager' and hoping to reset to default, I went to: advanced> reset to all defaults. Upon next boot, I got an error message (mentioned above)

I can access my files from the live-cd easy peasy, but, I still haven't found any problem's in the menu.lst whatsoever!

Can someone help? Thanks,

~Caleb

Gentoo has a great collection of errors of grub and documentation how to fix it

Let's get a better look at your setup & boot process. Boot the Ubuntu Live CD. Choose "try ubuntu without any changes", when the desktop loads come back here and use the link in my signature to download the Boot Info Script 0.32 to the desktop. Once on desktop open a terminal and run this command
sudo bash ~/Desktop/boot_info_script*.sh This will create a RESULTS.txt file on the desktop. Paste the entire contents of that file back here. Once pasted highlight all text and click the # sign on the toolbar to place code tags around the text.

This is very strange...

I downloaded the script, and looked at the 'Gentoo' site, but both identified the kernels! So there there, but not being identified by GRUB. I don't get it.

Can you post the contents of the RESULTS.txt file generated by the script as requested please!

The only thing I see out of the ordinary is in red above. Your root (/) partition should not be mounted in the media directory. Did you create a mount point there?

I think I just found it.

Menu.lst refers to 5 kernels in boot, including memtest.

But there's only one kernel in '/boot'. And it's not even mentioned by menu.lst:


kernel: 2.6.28-14

The problem is, where did all my kernels go:confused:

good catch! I thought I scrolled down to the bottom of your attachment but I did not. I just looked and you are correct. You can reinstall the other kernels through Synaptic Package Manager. Two sets of eyes are always better than one set!
