Hello everyone. This is my first post in this forum and if I posted this in the wrong spot, admins feel free to move. So my issue in a nutshell is that my Ubuntu Server Machine is not booting into the OS.
The machine is a Dell Precision T7600
-Dell PERC H710P HBA
-4 Hitachi 2TB HDDs
-32GB RAM ECC
-Intel Xeon E5-2609
-Ubuntu Server 20.04
This issue randomly started happening after an update. When I turn on the machine I am greeted to a grub prompt. Unfortunately I have tried some things that probably have made things worse. I have used Ubuntu desktop bootable media to access a terminal and used the boot-repair tool several times. the last time I used it and tried to boot the machine up, the grub prompt is gone and now its a grub rescue screen.
I dont know what to do
Currently im following the steps here:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/Installing
trying to reinstall GRUB2
Im at the point when I am trying to run:
sudo grub-install --boot-directory=/boot /dev/sda2
The output is:
Installing for i386-pc platform
grub-install: error: failed to get canonical path of '/cow'
The last time I ran the boot-repair tool, I received this URL:
https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/b5DZxY49WW/
Any idea how I can proceed? I use this machine as a file server and it hosts my plex media server
