[Bug 1018419] Re: grub fails to boot OS images on second hard drive

2013-05-18 Thread Phillip Susi
You appear to have grub2 installed in the MBR of sdb, yet grub legacy is actually installed in the filesystem. Your bios is probably configured to boot the broken grub in sdb firs,t then when you exit, it falls back to sda. Choose which system you want to be in charge of booting. If you want Xub

Okay, so typing the 'ls (hd1,5)/' command twice fails both times. If I exit and re-enter, it works... HOWEVER, if I 'exit' a second time I get No boot device available - strike F1 to retry boot, F2 for setup utility Press F5 to run onboard diagnostics Pressing F1 seems to get me back to t

When you get a chance, try just reissuing the command without exiting and re-entering the console. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1018419 Title: grub fails to boot OS images on second

I don't have access to the machine for a couple of days so I can't test it again right now, but yes, I did that three times. I would enter the console, type the command, fail, exit the console, re-enter the console, type command again, and it would work. I wonder if it was loading the bootloader on

And still if you go to the grub console and run ls (hd1,5)/ the first time it errors? But repeating it works? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1018419 Title: grub fails to boot OS imag

Could you check the *other* drive? Also, while it does seem to be ok, it wouldn't hurt to run the long self test on this drive since it appears to not have had one since it was new, and has a few years of run time on it now. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubunt

I will check the SMART status, but I really don't think this is a case of the drive going bad. I had no issue whatsoever when it was the primary drive on the machine. I merely moved it to another SATA slot when I installed Xubuntu 12.04. Also, I can mount and access the drive with no problems w

It sounds like the drive may be dieing, or at least there is some problem communicating with it. Please open the disk utility and check the SMART status of the drive. You may also want to run the long self test. If that all checks out, then try to repeat the ls (hd1,5) command and see if it cons
