Error 15

Post by loetje »

Hi,

I just installed linux mint 6 fluxbox. I have 2 harddrives.

sda1 has 230GB and this is where i allocated my home partition (ext3)
sdb is divided into 3 primary partitions (because i want to make a triple boot), and one extended (swap).
i installed linux mint to sdb1.

When i first booted up i got an error 15 message right away, even before grub could start.
I fixed this using super grub disc

Now i get the grub menu which shows me 3 options, linux mint 2.6.27-7-generic, same but recovery mode and memtest.
It doesn't matter which one i choose, i always get error 15 - file not found. Googling this error i found out that this means the kernel can not be found.

This is an extraction of my menu.lst:

title Linux Mint 6 Fluxbox CE, kernel 2.6.27-7-generic
root (hd1,0)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.27-7-generic root=/dev/sdb1 ro quiet splash
initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.27-7-generic
quiet

title Linux Mint 6 Fluxbox CE, kernel 2.6.27-7-generic (recovery mode)
root (hd1,0)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.27-7-generic root=/dev/sdb1 ro single
initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.27-7-generic

title Linux Mint 6 Fluxbox CE, memtest86+
root (hd1,0)
kernel /boot/memtest86+.bin
quiet

the kernel is exactly where menu.lst says it is. How come it can't be found? Can anyone help?

Ok Im guessing on this one, but from what Ive tried to research I have a question for you.

Have you thought about or tried reinstalling "grub"????
