 |
|
| I updated to the latest grub yesterday and now when I boot up all I get is a command line, and I have to type in my commands manually to boot the kernel. I tried downgrading to my previous version but I have the same problem still. Any ideas what's gone wrong? |

| check if your /boot partition (specifically grub.conf) has possibly been corrupted - that's all I can think of. |

I had a similar problem (possibly the exact same problem.)
After updating GRUB, the system would stop at bootup with the following message.
| Code: | Booting 'Gentoo Linux'
root (hd0,2)
Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83
kernel /kernel-2.6.11-gentoo-r6 root=/dev/ram0 init=linuxrc ramdisk=8192 real_root=/dev/hda4
[Linux-bzImage, setup=0x1400, size=0x1f26f0]
initrd /initrd-2.6.11-gentoo-r6
[Linux-initrd @ -xfddc000, 0x1d3d55 bytes]
savedefault
Error 15: File not found
Press any key to continue... |
Changing the first line of grub.conf file from "default saved" to "default 0" and removing "savedefault" lines fixed it. I don't know why it will no longer accept "savedefault", but I'm not really worried about it.
Hope this works for you as well.
UPDATE:
I was inspired to RTFM. The problem was the missing file /boot/grub/default which was easily restored using the command "grub-set-default 0". Now I can use "default saved" and "savedefault" in my /boot/grub/grub.conf again. |
