Re: Grub infinite loop problem on dual boot system

Gary,

I've never used the net install image I use live image but it should be similar. Get to a command line and then use sudo to mount the Debian partition somewhere. Once it's mounted you can run chroot {path to where you mounted} /bin/bash --login. This will make it so the commands you run are run from the install on your HD. From there you can run the update-grub for it to update the /boot/grub/grub.cfg file.

Hi all;

I have a Toshiba Qosmio laptop that has 2 60 GB drives. I formatted
one with the Windows XP that is needed to run all of the bells and
whistles that the Qosmio provides. I installed Debian Squeeze on the
other drive and used Grub as the boot loader. This setup worked fine.
I recently upgraded to Debian Wheezy using the latest iso net install
disk. Since then the system boots to the Grub operating system
selection screen. If I select Debian, the computer starts, loads
grub, shuts down and restarts over and over again. I managed to get
back into the Windows XP side by completely reloading the XP OS from
the factory disks. As long as I select the XP system things work
fine. As soon as I try the Debian system the looping starts again. I
tried to reload the Debian side from the iso disk but the end results
are the same. Any suggestions will be sincerely appreciated.

Did you run update-grub?

How do I run update-grub when I can't access Linux
