Re: Grub2 gives error :File not found and goes into rescue mode

[Sebastian Canagaratna <s-canagaratna@onu.edu>]

Thank uou Frank and Klaus. As you surmised, it was a typo : I meant to say /dev/sda to be sure I repeated the grub-install

and the version given by bootinfoscript if 1.99 though AI have 2.00-14. When I use grub rescue and type set prefixs=(hd1,msdos1)/boot/grub and then root=(hd1,msdos1) and insmod normal it gives unknown file system error.

Further to the questions I raised, I downloaded supergrub2 and I was
able to access the system.However, after starting 3.9.3.slh-1 and
running update-grub and grub-install /dev/sda0 ( the installation
finished. No error reported) still, on rebooting, come to the same error

   I think you should be installing grub in /dev/sda, the MBR not a partition.
