Unhappy Grub Error 15 When Trying to Boot from 2nd IDE Channel

My primary IDE channel died, so I plugged my Ubuntu Hardy drive into the second IDE channel as master, and the BIOS sees it fine.

But now when I try to boot, I get 'error 15'. Here is the output of fdisk -l:

Code:
   Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
/dev/sda1   *           1       48127   386580096   83  Linux
/dev/sda2           48128       48641     4128673+   f  W95 Ext'd (LBA)
/dev/sda5           48128       48431     2441817   83  Linux
/dev/sda6           48432       48453      176683+  82  Linux swap / Solaris
/dev/sda7           48454       48641     1510078+  82  Linux swap / Solaris
The output of blkid is:

Code:
/dev/sda1: UUID="9b7f81f4-686b-42fb-9e20-e2b88f21bd43" SEC_TYPE="ext2" TYPE="ext3"

/etc/fstab:

Code:

/dev/fd0        /media/floppy0  auto    rw,user,noauto,exec,utf8 0       0
Now, if I am not mistaken, the master device on the second IDE channel should be "/dev/hdc", which grub should see as hd(3)?

I am completely confused, can anybody find a solution? I stumped them over on Ubuntu Forums.

Thanks,
Tim

if you can't boot, how have you got that output??

hdc would be hd(2) to grub. You know you can bounce about in the grub shell before booting to try to suss that sort of thing out, yeah? change the root etc, see what files it can find based on the current config etc.

Sorry, I forgot to mention that I am posting via an Ubuntu Hardy live cd.

I have tried to find out what grub is trying to do:

Code:
grub> find /boot/grub/stage1
 (hd0,0)
 (hd0,4)
Grub insists that the drive is (hd0) but, as you say, I think it should be hd(2). FWIW, I believe that grub gets the disk config from /etc/fstab. I wonder if I should edit fstab to reflect the new disk location, or is there a safer, simpler way?

Thanks!
Tim

You are mistaken.
Grub sees the first (BIOS recognised) disk as hd0.
No ifs, no buts.

Your blkid and fstab data indicates you are not giving us the full info. The find response confirms it.
Looks like you have done (at least) two installs in addition to (physically) moving the disk.
Go get the bootinfo script from sf.net and run it (from the liveCD is o.k.) - post the RESULTS.txt

Seems I'm wrong again. ho hum. I will say for certain though that fstab will never get used by grub.

I tried installing Jaunty in free space on the disk in an effort to repair grub. Obviously, it didn't work.

Thanks,

Interesting - try this.
From the boot menu, highlight the Jaunty entry and hit enter. Edit the UUID line to completely replace it with "root (hd0,4)" (no quotes). Hit enter to write the changes.
Then edit the kernel line so the "root=UUID=..." keyword now says "root=/dev/sda5"
Then "b" to see if it will boot.

Ouch - now I get 'error 5', meaning (I think) that grub thinks the partition table is bad. I have not gotten as far as the boot menu since I switched the drive over to the second channel.

Thumbs up Problem Solved
Problem solved. Cleared the BIOS CMOS, and the IDE channel woke up again.

Thanks!

But now when I try to boot, I get 'error 15'. Here is the output of fdisk -l:

Code:
   Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
/dev/sda1   *           1       48127   386580096   83  Linux

/dev/sda7           48454       48641     1510078+  82  Linux swap / Solaris
The output of blkid is:

Code:
/dev/sda1: UUID="9b7f81f4-686b-42fb-9e20-e2b88f21bd43" SEC_TYPE="ext2" TYPE="ext3"

/dev/fd0        /media/floppy0  auto    rw,user,noauto,exec,utf8 0       0
Now, if I am not mistaken, the master device on the second IDE channel should be "/dev/hdc", which grub should see as hd(3)?

I am completely confused, can anybody find a solution? I stumped them over on Ubuntu Forums.

Thanks,
Tim
