Grub:Error:No such device

[drunkenbrawler]

Hello everyone,
I'm using Kubuntu 9.10 with Ubuntu-desktop installed.
I've been using kubuntu for sometime now but i dont know much technical things about it.

I have two hard discs (160GB SATA and 80GB PATA).

I have just installed Windows XP Professional and then reinstalled grub2 from a live CD. Both OS are on 80GB PATA drive.

The Grub menu at boot time has "Windows XP Professional" entry in it. The problem is that
when i select that entry, i get an error saying:



Grub:Error:No such device - "a string of letters and numbers"
Press any key to continue...

:confused:

When i press any key, it goes back to the grub menu. Kubuntu and Ubuntu work fine.
When i go to bios and change my hard disc boot order, grub is bypassed and Windows boots and works good.

I dont know much technical things but i think maybe its the problem with Windows entry in grub. (something to do with lines map(hd0,hd1) and map(hd1,hd0) (But i'm nt sure. I just said wat i thought it might be)

I have done this ones with menu.lst in 9.4 but i dont know anything about grub2. I tried to read Grub2 guide but it wont help.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanx. :)

Let's get a better look at your setup & boot process. Boot the Ubuntu Live CD/USB. 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 to the desktop. Once on desktop open a terminal (Applications > Accessories > 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. See below (thanks to meierfra) for more info on boot info script:

boot_info_script is a bash script which searches all hard drives attached to the computer for information related to booting and displays it in a convenient format. Its primary use is for troubleshooting booting problems.
How to use the boot info script

* Boot into any Linux based operating system or Live CD with an Internet connection.
* Download the Boot Info Script
* Open a terminal (Applications>Accessories>Terminal in Gnome) and type

sudo bash [path/to/the/download_folder]/boot_info_script*.sh

For example if you downloaded the file to the desktop, use

sudo bash ~/Desktop/boot_info_script*.sh

* If your operation system does not use sudo, use

su
bash ~/Desktop/boot_info_script*.sh


* You will now have the file RESULTS.txt in the same directory as the script. But if the script is inside a system directory (like /usr or /etc) RESULTS.txt will be in the home directory.
* If you already have an existing RESULTS.txt, subsequent files will be called RESULTS1.txt, RESULTS2.txt,...
* Open RESULTS.txt in your favorite text editor.
* If you came here from a Linux forum, paste the content of RESULTS.txt into your next post. Make sure to use the appropriate formating. For example in the Ubuntu forums click on the code tags (the symbol #) before pasting RESULTS.txt.

[kansasnoob]

Try running:


sudo update-grub

Wait for it to say done!

Then post the output of:


cat /boot/grub/grub.cfg

I guess I should explain. The script shows XP is on sda1 but grub.cfg:


### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober ###
menuentry "Microsoft Windows XP Professional (on /dev/sdb1)" {
insmod ntfs
set root=(hd1,1)
search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set 12ec1c0eec1beb2d
drivemap -s (hd0) ${root}
chainloader +1
}
### END /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober ###


I just want to give grub2 a chance to sort itself out.

[Jonasan Cope]

hey drunkenbrawler,

had a similar problem myself after install. to be sure if yours is the same i need you to write down and post the string of letters and numbers which GRUB posts next to "No such device -"

if it matches my experience i might be able to help.

[drunkenbrawler]

I dont have the string right now. I'll post it in smtime. but i dont know if that will be same cause i think it maybe volume number or UUID. dunno. will post the string though. need to reboot. I think the string is the one in the 3rd post- grub.cfg file- in Windows entry.

Problem solved.
I just did update-grub and restarted my PC to find the string of numbers and it worked.

Thank you everybody.
Just curious... wat was happening and wat happened after update?
is this the generic solution ? I mean wil this work for everybody who faces this prob? :D

and can anyone explain that RESULTS.txt file plzzzzzzz...

[Jonasan Cope]

well if its the string that follows the "search - no floppy" line then your system is failing to boot because it cannot find the floppy drive (or something like that). if you press 'e' at the grub boot options, with the xp option highlighted then you should get to see the XP boot instructions. delete the entire line containing that string and press ctrl-x. might boot then.

if thats the case you need to update the grub.cfg file to permanently remove this line. i can help you do this if you need. let me know.

[Jonasan Cope]

oh sweet, well done mate. dont know what the update did though. have fun

[audiomick]

Hi.
The short answer is that grub was looking for windows in the wrong place.

"update-grub" makes it go and have another look, and yes, that is the "generic" solution, in as much as it is the first thing to try to sort out a wrongly configured grub.

[drunkenbrawler]

yeah ok. I got that much. but i hav seen that smtime u hav to edit grub entries. how to do that in grub2? :?

[kansasnoob]

It updated the grub.cfg.

[kansasnoob]

If grub2 is working properly you shouldn't have to.

I have the same issue, but I do not have XP running. Just Ubuntu. I am getting Error: no such device and then a string of numbers. I edited the boot file in Grub as suggested, and removed the Searc-floppy line and everything booted well. I have run the update grub command and this did not fix the problem. How do I permanently remove the "search floppy" line?

thanks

This error is the result of a failure of the GRUB 2 search function. There are various bugs associated with the search function. To boot into your system, highlight the OS you want to boot. Press "e" to edit the menuentry. Delete the entire "search ..." line, then CTRL-x to boot.

Once you have booted into the system, you will modify the /usr/lib/grub/grub-mkconfig_lib file in accordance with this link:
Boot Problems:search

ccrawford57 have you fixed it yet? The link kansasnoob gave you is right on the money and it is a simple fix.

this worked perfectly! thank you. THe only problem is that I did a software update, and it reset everything back to where it was. I am doing the fix again, and I assume it will work fine
