You have installed your bootloader into /dev/sda2 instead of /dev/sda (it's a common mistake).

To fix this please boot off your LiveCD/LiveUSB, select 'TRY'

In the Terminal (Menu to: Applications >> Accessories >> Terminal):

Code:

sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt

Code:

sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt /dev/sda

You can then reboot and you should come right up in Ubuntu.

Hi ,
Thanks for the prompt repply ,
I tried the code 1 , here's the result :

ubuntu@ubuntu:~/Téléchargements$ sudo mount /dev/sda2 /mnt
mount: you must specify the filesystem type
ubuntu@ubuntu:~/Téléchargements$

Something is missing I think , just note that I'm novice

Thanks for your support

There is oneother thing that could cause you future problems if your don't take care of it now.

The fstab file is more reliable when you use UUIDs to identify partitions. Right now your '/' (root) partition is described as /dev/sda1:

Code:

# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# Use 'blkid -o value -s UUID' to print the universally unique identifier
# for a device; this may be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name
# devices that works even if disks are added and removed. See fstab(5).
#
# <file system> <mount point>   <type>  <options>       <dump>  <pass>
proc            /proc           proc    nodev,noexec,nosuid 0       0
/dev/sda1       /               ext4    errors=remount-ro 0       1
# swap was on /dev/sda5 during installation
UUID=4939145c-429c-4926-b91e-d3c89e810904 none            swap    sw              0       0
/dev/fd0        /media/floppy0  auto    rw,user,noauto,exec,utf8 0       0

Ideally, the partitions UUID should be used instead.

Code:

Device           UUID                                   TYPE       LABEL                         

/dev/loop0                                              squashfs                                 
/dev/sda1        4824bfa1-b0db-45c4-9ebd-8e8afa67c77a   ext4                                     
/dev/sda2: PTTYPE="dos" 
/dev/sda5        4939145c-429c-4926-b91e-d3c89e810904   swap                                     
/dev/sda: PTTYPE="dos"

To update the fstab file, please do this:

Code:

gksudo gedit /etc/fstab

And change this line:

Code:

/dev/sda1       /               ext4    errors=remount-ro 0       1

To this:

Code:

UUID=4824bfa1-b0db-45c4-9ebd-8e8afa67c77a /               ext4    errors=remount-ro 0       1

I had typed the wrong partition in my example, sorry.

It should be:

Code:

sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt

Code:

sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt /dev/sda

Hi ,

After reboot, I get the following messages :
error:couldn't read file
error:you need to load kernel first
hit any key to continue
Then
Have the multiple choice of boot, select mode recover and get the following :

Loading Linux 2.6.35-22-generic
error:couldn't read file
Loading initial ramdisk
error:you need to load kernel first

I'm kinda stuck, what next ?

Eric,

Sorry I disappeared. It is income tax time and I was with the accountant. You would be surprised at now much tax a hedgehog has to pay. Anyway...

Looking over the script output, things look like they should. Of course, that doesn't mean much since it is not booting for you.

Did I read this right that this error:

error:couldn't read file
error:you need to load kernel first
hit any key to continue

happens before the grub menu appears?

At this point I would try a reinstall or 10.10, this time selecting /dev/sda to have the boot loader installed. If you have already tried this during my absense, let me know and please do a fresh script output (please press the '#' button and put the text between the CODE and /CODE text).

The Hedge
