Error when install Lubuntu, please help me!

Post by trungvu »

I tried to installing Lubuntu with both USB boot & CD but i can't install it, don't have any error when set-up but when my laptop complete * reboot, it always notice a error below:
error: out of disk
grub rescue>

or with Kubuntu 11.10, error:
error: not find the file
grub rescue>

and i can't access Lubuntu environment.
My laptop chip is Intel Pentium (R) M so i only tried with 11.04 & 11.10 versions. I tried Lubuntu, Xutunbu, Ubuntu, Kubuntu with both USB & CD but it occured same error.
But if i run with trial mode, it run normally.
Have any one experienced this problem, please help me. Thank you! :cry:

You are in the grub rescue mode. Check this web site:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/Troubleshooting
That should point you in the right direction. By the way, welcome to the lxde forums.

May be you could try to reinstall grub2.

Start the system with a LiveCd.

Open a terminal and type:

fdisk -l

Take note of the Linux partition (I'll suppose that it's /dev/sda1 but change it if neceesary)

mount /dev/sda1 /mnt
mount --bind /dev /mnt/dev
chroot /mnt
install-grub /dev/sda
update-grub2
