I "upgraded" to 9.10 (karmic) by doing a clean install with the main install CD. Unfortunately, my system is not wanting to boot, dumping me to the grub rescue prompt.
My disk setup is slightly off, with three hard drives, two IDE and one SATA.
Under the liveCD, here's how my drives are set up
hda - SATA
hda1 - ext3 /media/storage
hdb - IDE
hdb1 - fat32 /dos
hdb2 - ext4 /home
hdb3 - ext3 /aux
hdb4 - ext4 /
hdc - IDE
hdc1 - swap
(ext4 and swap partitions were reformatted during installation)
However, under the Grub rescue prompt, I get the following correspondence (confirmed by using ls):
(hd0) -> hdb
(hd1) -> hdc
(hd2) -> hda
I have tried reinstalling grub using both
grub-install /dev/hda
grub-install /dev/hdb
Neither seems to help.
The real stumper is that when I do a
grub rescue>ls (hd0,4)/ #This should be the root partition
I get an "Error: unknown filesystem"
However, booting into the LiveCD and running "fsck /dev/hdb4" does not report any issues.
Any thoughts?
