Custom version of linuxmint boots to GNU Grub version 1.99 instead of desktop (urgent
To be more exact I was using Linux Mint 11 when this problem came. I used remastersys to make an ISO for the os. already have it burned to a dvd and booting which works fine. how ever when I installed it to a hard drive took the disk out and reboot my computer, it show that gnu grub thing and not the desktop. can anyone pin point what i did wrong or does it have to do with the os grub loader? please I really want to fix this so I can upload my complete custom os to you guys to check out without that freaken grub boot thing showing (please excuse my languish). Also I have uploaded that custom iso if you guys can download it and be able to better identify that problem better. The download is on this youtube video.

Which option did you use in Remastersys? dist? backup? other?
You will need to be more specific about "that GNU Grub thing"? Do you just see a grub prompt, grub version or ?? Do you have anything else (other operating systems) on the drive? Did you install Grub from Mint to the master boot record? Not much info to go on. |

Live boot from hard drive works and i can get on desktop but not after its been installed on an internal hard drive. yes I believe I have installed and reinstalled grub2 countless times trying to fix this from an external hard drive and its not even working. It shows the prompt saying "GNU Grub Version 1.99 mint1" "Mininmal BASH-like editing is supported etc" I'm not even sure if remastersys Isn't coping grub2 or is it just the OS itself not letting it do so or I simply am not doing it right. |
I've used remastersys with various versions of Ubuntu including Mint and have installed a couple to hard drive just to test. Didn't have the problem you are reporting. Where does the usb startup fit in here? I'm not familiar with it. I usually just boot the iso image file in VirtualBox to test it before wastng a CD/DVD. Have you tried to iso in VirtualBox?

Yes I have used Virtualbox before I had an internal hard drive dock installed on my computer. I prefer a real computer over Virtual. I use it more for running windows from there now in days. Did you know that its possible to turn any external drive into a bootable usb hard drive as if you were using a CD or DVD? The difference is that you can add or remove stuff from there. Anyways the main problem is not the live installer but the boot loader after the OS has been installed in another hard drive showing that GNU Grub Menu. In case your not sure what I mean by that. Then you may download the ISO I made and you'll see what I mean http://www.4shared.com/get/1m4H_iMd/L-Core.html Yes this Iso is out of date. Keep in mind that this is a concept only but I it still needs work on it. Ill explain the rest after you reply. mhmmmm alright I'll try that bootinfoscript and see what I get. |

I tried it and run it from the terminals and that fixed it. It works. thank you so much for that. I've been fighting with that for awhile and now it done and over with. For those reading this post trust me this will work with any os that uses grub. just right click and click on run or run in terminal.thanks yancek.
