Hi everyone,
I just installed Linux Mint 14 64 bits, I created 2 partitions, one mounted on / and the other on /home. When Linux Mint boots, the grub console appears. I don't know what's the problem. Is grub not properly installed or something?
I'll appreciate any help!
Thanks!
Nicolas

Boot the live session again:
* Open a terminal and type
$ sudo fdisk -l
* Now, you need to remember which device listed is your linux distribution, for reference, /dev/sda1 will be used. Now we need to mount the filesystem to /mnt
$ sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt
* Now mount the rest of your devices
$ sudo mount --bind /dev /mnt/dev
* Now chroot into your system
$ sudo chroot /mnt
*
When that is done you need to run update-grub to create the configuration file.
$ update-grub
*
To install GRUB 2 to the MBR, next you need to run grub-install /dev/sda
$ grub-install /dev/sda
Linux Mint 21.1 Cinnamon
Re: Nadia doesn't boot, stays on grub command line
I actually fixed it last night. When I added the linux mint entry on the Win7 boot menu, I added it as Grub 2, as I always did with linux mint 13. I changed it to grub legacy, chose the partition where my root is and that fixed it (go figure). Next time Mint boots, the grub 2 menu is displayed!
