Ubuntu 12.10 - grub error "file /boot/grub/i386-pc/normal.mod not found"
And before you ask, yes I'm already aware that Ubuntu installs EFI Grub instead of Vanilla Grub. I am no newbie when it comes to Google. I've already tried reinstalling Grub, to no avail. I'm still getting the error message. Also tried insmod from the Grub Rescue prompt... that also gives that message.
By the way, I'm installing to an external USB drive. I noticed something peculiar when I booted from my LiveCD, though - I can see the /boot/grub/i386-pc folder fine when I view my hard drive through the file manager (and the normal.mod is there), but when I try to view my hard drive through the terminal, the folders aren't there. It's like they're hidden. Is this the cause of the issue? |
Is this a new installed that has never booted due to the error reported?
Surprised to see an i386-pc on a regular install but I haven't used 12.10?? Are you using the Ubuntu Live CD to access the hard drive? Do you mount your hard drive partition or is it auto-mounted under /media? |

I don't know what I did, but when I deleted my previous installation, and did a new one, the system somehow kicked in. I'm now in Ubuntu proper. Thanks for trying to help yancek. :)
This is one of the weirdest things I've ever experienced, LOL! |

When you say the i386-pc directory, you were probably viewing the file on the CD not the hard drive but I don't really know for sure. Anyhow, you have it working and that's the important thing. Hope you enjoy using Ubuntu. |
