Ok, I have my system back.
One last thing before we give up the try.
I had xp. then installed win 7.
I had these problems at the win loader too, before installing
ubuntu. Does this help?
Thank...
how can I get to the command line at the menu>>>???
Which menu do you mean?
It doesnt reaches the point where it shows the available OSs.
It reboots before that.
BIOS does work, but I believe...
I did it,
and now i boot and it stops at GRUB loading..
and reboots, and if I let it, it will continue rebooting forever!
what do you mean 'with a working grub 2'??
should I exec grub first?
it did work!
I have my grub back!
Time to solve the initial problem!...hold on!
I am working now with two keyboards.
I realized that the USB keyboard doesnt work on grub menu,
whereas the...
just rerun these commands,
all run great,
no problems, no errors!
after "boot" kubuntu loads normally
Nop, doesnt work.
I get back to sh:grub>
i exec these commands to load ubuntu again
linux /vmlinuz root=/dev/sda9 ro
initrd /initrd.img
boot
are you sure that is is sda5?????? I will not use on the command nowhere sda9??
Excuse my doubts please!
