Grub error 15 after lucid upgrade

**fiftysix** · May 3rd, 2010

Thank you in advance for any help rendered !

Anyhow, I just upgraded from 9.10 and now I cannot boot into 10.04
because of grub error 15; file not found.

I have tried and failed at the following:

1) I did the find /boot/grub/stage1 and got hd0,5.
Checked it against my existing setting and it was fine.

2) Booted through a livecd and found that my boot directory
was almost empty. No sign of vmlinuz and initrd as well.

3) through the livecd, I copied contents of boot into the boot directory
of my existing installation and umm...nothing changed at reboot.

I checked the disk utility in the livecd scenario and it said 10.04 LTS was installed
on my drive but grub only lets me select 9.10 kernels. There is also no sign of vmlinuz and initrd files anywhere (except those I copied from elsewhere).

Please post the output of the Boot Info Script as described here:

Welcome to the forums.

Error 15 is most common with both grub legacy (0.97) and grub2 installed. They do not like each other.

This will show what is installed where but because you did copy some files it may not be 100%.

Looks like that's not the problem. Looks like the kernel is missing.

This will show what is installed where but because you did copy some files it may not be 100%.

Be sure to highlight and use code tags (# in edit panel) to make it easier to read when you post the results.txt.

So I have been having a problem where grub won't boot I always have to put in my live USB and boot from first hard drive where it seems like it fixes it but it goes straight to Busybox where i have to reboot and as I reboot i remove the live USB and it boots grub... but that process is annoying so i entered this in terminal

Code:

$ sudo fdisk -l | grep -i linux

MY RESULTS

Code:

/dev/sda1   *           1       29674   238349312   83  Linux
/dev/sda5           29674       30402     5847040   82  Linux swap / Solaris

I tried to see if maybe i could restore GRUB by doing these steps in terminal

Code:

Type "grub" which makes a GRUB prompt appear.

Type "find /boot/grub/stage1".

My results were "Error 15 file not found"

So I just tried this so can someone tell me what all this means???

Anyhow, I just upgraded from 9.10 and now I cannot boot into 10.04
because of grub error 15; file not found.

I have tried and failed at the following:

1) I did the find /boot/grub/stage1 and got hd0,5.
Checked it against my existing setting and it was fine.

2) Booted through a livecd and found that my boot directory
was almost empty. No sign of vmlinuz and initrd as well.

3) through the livecd, I copied contents of boot into the boot directory
of my existing installation and umm...nothing changed at reboot.

I checked the disk utility in the livecd scenario and it said 10.04 LTS was installed
on my drive but grub only lets me select 9.10 kernels. There is also no sign of vmlinuz and initrd files anywhere (except those I copied from elsewhere).

Well you've done a good job of troubleshooting this so far. I'm curious about this:

There is also no sign of vmlinuz and initrd files anywhere (except those I copied from elsewhere).

So if you navigate to the root filesystem you see no vmlinuz or initrd here:

Attachment 155314

I'm also curious where you copied from? Anyway this is always worth a look:

http://members.iinet.net.au/~herman546/p15.html#15

I can't see anything wrong in your menu.lst but sometimes a different pair of eyes can help.

Anyway a few things come to mind, but just consider this mostly thinking out loud at this point. A lot of this depends on individual skill level so it's best we discuss things before proceeding

I multi-boot a lot so I quite often have some "parallel" OS I can copy from, it's especially easy since all OS's have the same root user/privileges, but of course you don't quite have that situation.

Anyway please look at my notes on using a chroot to "fix" things in Ubuntu:

http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php...2&postcount=10

Note: that is written using /dev/sda3 as an example, but your Ubuntu is on /dev/sda6.

One of my first thoughts is that I recently installed a new kernel (2.6.32-22) from the "proposed" repos, specific apt info:

Commit Log for Fri Apr 30 06:56:28 2010

Upgraded the following packages:
empathy (2.30.0.1-0ubuntu3) to 2.30.1-0ubuntu1
empathy-common (2.30.0.1-0ubuntu3) to 2.30.1-0ubuntu1
file-roller (2.30.0-0ubuntu1) to 2.30.1.1-0ubuntu2
linux-generic (2.6.32.21.22) to 2.6.32.22.23
linux-headers-generic (2.6.32.21.22) to 2.6.32.22.23
linux-image-generic (2.6.32.21.22) to 2.6.32.22.23
nautilus-sendto-empathy (2.30.0.1-0ubuntu3) to 2.30.1-0ubuntu1
unattended-upgrades (0.55ubuntu3) to 0.55ubuntu4

Installed the following packages:
linux-headers-2.6.32-22 (2.6.32-22.33)
linux-headers-2.6.32-22-generic (2.6.32-22.33)
linux-image-2.6.32-22-generic (2.6.32-22.33)

Note that "linux-libc-dev" had come in the day before:

linux-libc-dev (2.6.32-21.32) to 2.6.32-22.33

So I'm thinking that installing that kernel might initiate the "update" process and sort things out, but that's a big maybe! I'd begin by mounting and chrooting that Ubuntu:

Code:

sudo mount /dev/sda6 /mnt && sudo mount --bind /dev /mnt/dev && sudo mount --bind /proc /mnt/proc && sudo mount --bind /sys /mnt/sys && sudo mount --bind /dev/pts /mnt/dev/pts && sudo cp /etc/resolv.conf /mnt/etc/resolv.conf && sudo chroot /mnt

Code:

dpkg-divert --local --rename --add /sbin/initctl

Code:

ln -s /bin/true /sbin/initctl

Then I'd explore free disc space to be sure that's not an issue:

Code:

df -H

Note: "df -H" is quite "human readable"

Code:

du -sh /*

That takes a while to run so be patient, it gives a more in depth look at disc usage, example:

Code:

6.7M	/bin
33M	/boot
4.0K	/cdrom
492K	/dev
15M	/etc
du: cannot access `/home/lance/.gvfs': Permission denied
273M	/home
0	/initrd.img
0	/initrd.img.old
217M	/lib
16K	/lost+found
8.0K	/media
7.2G	/mnt
29M	/opt
du: cannot access `/proc/6849/task/6849/fd/4': No such file or directory
du: cannot access `/proc/6849/task/6849/fdinfo/4': No such file or directory
du: cannot access `/proc/6849/fd/4': No such file or directory
du: cannot access `/proc/6849/fdinfo/4': No such file or directory
0	/proc
1.5M	/root
6.7M	/sbin
4.0K	/selinux
4.0K	/srv
0	/sys
60K	/tmp
2.3G	/usr
743M	/var
0	/vmlinuz
0	/vmlinuz.old

Regardless of what that shows I believe I'd clean up any old .debs (whether in use or not):

Code:

apt-get autoclean

Code:

apt-get clean

Now you might just try a combination of the following:

Code:

apt-get update

Code:

apt-get dist-upgrade

Code:

apt-get -f install

Code:

dpkg --configure -a

Code:

update-grub

Note: "update-grub" may (or may not) give some good clues!

Also if you want to try that newest kernel in "proposed" you need to be sure you have that newest version of "linux-libc-dev":

Code:

aptitude show linux-libc-dev|head -4

Note that "aptitude show <package-name>|head -4" works with any package, and if you'd want to see all info on a package just use "aptitude show <package-name>". Example:

Code:

lance@lance-desktop:~$ aptitude show linux-libc-dev|head -4
Package: linux-libc-dev
State: installed
Automatically installed: no
Version: 2.6.32-22.33

And you will of course have to "activate" the proposed repos in "/etc/apt/sources.list". I've found gedit not to work very well in a chroot so I normally use nano, but nano can be a bit tricky if you've never used it. Have you used nano before?

I always like to begin by running "cat /etc/apt/sources.list" and then copy-n-pasting that output into a simple text doc so I have it as a backup in case I hose things

Anyway if you know what I mean by "uncommenting" the "proposed repos", using nano, etc. remember you'll have to run "apt-get update" and "apt-get dist-upgrade" again to install those proposed updates.

Have I completely lost you yet?

Remember when you're done in the chroot to exit and unmount:

Code:

exit

Code:

sudo umount /mnt/dev/pts && sudo umount /mnt/sys && sudo umount /mnt/proc && sudo umount /mnt/dev && sudo umount /mnt

Hey kansasnoob,

Yes ! that chrooting procedure solved it for me.

I just had to update the kernel I think. Oh and about the vmlinuz and initrd, I realised
that I didnt actually copy the actual files from anywhere, the ones I copied were actually shortcuts
in my root directory. Haha.

Well, basically I just mounted and chrooted and blah blah and rebooted and Wala!

I greatly appreciate your help on this, I was like minutes away from backing up some data and reformatting
the whole drive!.

Thanks again and cheers!

**kansasnoob** · May 4th, 2010

Cool! If you happen to pop back in would you mark this solved?

Edit: I see you already did ........... must drink more coffee ;^)

**muddysmind** · June 6th, 2010

Having a similar issue however mine is from a seemingly bad auto update of the kernel today, still using 9.10 and it upgraded to the latest 2.6.31 kernel.
Now getting the Grub Error 15, using 0.97 version

### BEGIN AUTOMAGIC KERNELS LIST
## lines between the AUTOMAGIC KERNELS LIST markers will be modified
## by the debian update-grub script except for the default options below

## DO NOT UNCOMMENT THEM, Just edit them to your needs

## ## Start Default Options ##
## default kernel options
## default kernel options for automagic boot options
## If you want special options for specific kernels use kopt_x_y_z
## where x.y.z is kernel version. Minor versions can be omitted.
## e.g. kopt=root=/dev/hda1 ro
##      kopt_2_6_8=root=/dev/hdc1 ro
##      kopt_2_6_8_2_686=root=/dev/hdc2 ro
# kopt=root=/dev/md6 ro

## default grub root device
## e.g. groot=(hd0,0)
# groot=(hd0,0)

## should update-grub create alternative automagic boot options
## e.g. alternative=true
##      alternative=false
# alternative=true

## should update-grub lock alternative automagic boot options
## e.g. lockalternative=true
##      lockalternative=false
# lockalternative=false

## additional options to use with the default boot option, but not with the
## alternatives
## e.g. defoptions=vga=791 resume=/dev/hda5
# defoptions=quiet splash

## should update-grub lock old automagic boot options
## e.g. lockold=false
##      lockold=true
# lockold=false

## Xen hypervisor options to use with the default Xen boot option
# xenhopt=

## Xen Linux kernel options to use with the default Xen boot option
# xenkopt=console=tty0

## altoption boot targets option
## multiple altoptions lines are allowed
## e.g. altoptions=(extra menu suffix) extra boot options
##      altoptions=(recovery) single
# altoptions=(recovery mode) single

## controls how many kernels should be put into the menu.lst
## only counts the first occurence of a kernel, not the
## alternative kernel options
## e.g. howmany=all
##      howmany=7
# howmany=all

## specify if running in Xen domU or have grub detect automatically
## update-grub will ignore non-xen kernels when running in domU and vice versa
## e.g. indomU=detect
##      indomU=true
##      indomU=false
# indomU=detect

## should update-grub create memtest86 boot option
## e.g. memtest86=true
##      memtest86=false
# memtest86=true

## should update-grub adjust the value of the default booted system
## can be true or false
# updatedefaultentry=false

## should update-grub add savedefault to the default options
## can be true or false
# savedefault=false

mdadm: md device /dev/md4 does not appear to be active.

I believe the problem lies that grub shows the menu, knows the files are supposed to be in /boot but can't identify them for some reason.
I am running raid 1 with mdadm setup as you can see.
Any ideas this is my main box and I'm dead in the water w/o it.

Thanks!

My issue was resolved by removing the menu.lst file in /boot/grub and renaming the menu.lst~ file that was there to menu.lst and rebooting.
Seems one of them listed everything as /boot and the other w/o the /boot
