Intermittant grub errors 16 and 18 Elyssa XFCE

Post by Paul Mathews »

Last year my Aunt's HP a1730n (AMD processor, 320G HD) suffered from the HP Code Purple problem. I think that this means that the tattoo (i.e. serial number) on the bios e-prom is weak, so the computer cannot read the tattoo and so wouldn't start VISTA. The computer was out of warrantee and HP support was completely worthless. I was spending several hours per month every month fixing HP and VISTA problems.

In January, after having the e-prom re-burned and HP/VISTA failing again after six weeks, I gave up on HP and VISTA, deleted the original and back-up VISTA partitions, repartitioned the HD with four 75G and one 2G (for swap) partitions, and then installed Elyssa XFCE into one of the 75G partitions. The system has run flawlessly since January and my Aunt (86 years old) made the shift from Windows to Linux Mint without a hitch. Now we are getting intermittant grub errors 16 and 18. Nothing has changed on the system except that I've occasionally installed the essential updates. I hadn't done updates (I do all of the maintenance myself) in the six weeks before the problem appeared. By intermittant errors I mean that once I manage to get Mint to start, it will restart many consecutive times, but then will fail again several days later. Makes debugging difficult.

I found a forum reference to grub error 16 caused by gfxmenu, so per the recommendation I commented out gfxmenu and color from grub's menu.lst. The grub errors reappeared a week later.

Notes and questions:
* This is not a dual boot system. Linux Mint XFCE is the only OS on the hard drive.
* Since there's only one OS on this system, do I even need grub? I don't know anything about running without grub or lilo, but I would really like to preserve the option of installing other OSs to those other three empty partitions.
* I'm pretty sure that I made a back up copy of the MBR. If I did and can find it, would it do any good to restore it?
* I've seen some references to grub problems associated with large partitions. Is the 75G partition too big for /boot? Should I put /boot in its own partition?

My Aunt is having us over for dinner tonight so that I can work on her system again, so any recommendations are appreciated. I'm hoping that I can just get her up and running reliably again without having to rebuild the system.

I have to comment that I have been running Linux MINT Elyssa XFCE (dual boot with XP) on my Lenovo R61 for over a year and it has performed flawlessly. My Aunt has also been very impressed with the stability of Linux relative to her very poor experiences with Windows Millenium and VISTA. She's been doing most of her work in AbiWord, Gnumeric, and Firefox and picked them all up with a very fast learning curve.

Open a terminal and type the following commands and show us the output:

sudo fdisk -l
df -h
cat /boot/grub/menu.lst

Also check "dmesg" and look for any errors associated with your hard drive.

lagagnon,

Thanks for the help.

I got to check out my Aunt’s computer last night and we had the grub errors again. Here's a short version of what happened last night, typical of what's been happening:
Grub errors 18 and then 16.
Booted from Mint DVD. Ran requested diagnostics.
Rebooted from HD and everthing's fine.
Computer reboots repeatedly without any problem, but a few days from now we'll get the grub error again. The computer is off when it's not in use.

Below you will find the requested output from fdisk –l, df –h, and /boot/grub/menu.lst. There is one dmesg listing taken after I booted the system from the Mint DVD. I forgot to capture the other after I successfully booted from the hard drive. I did get the listings from /var/log/syslog, /messages, and /kern which I couldn't list below because this posting is too long. Let me know if they'll help.

Thanks!

############################################
System was booted from the Mint DVD:

mint ~ $ sudo fdisk -1
fdisk: invalid option – 1

Usage: fdisk [-b SSZ] [-u] DISK Change partition table
fdisk -l [-b SSZ] [-u] DISK List partition table(s)
fdisk -s PARTITION Give partition size(s) in blocks
fdisk -v Give fdisk version
Here DISK is something like /dev/hdb or /dev/sda
and PARTITION is something like /dev/hda7
-u: give Start and End in sector (instead of cylinder) units
-b 2048: (for certain MO disks) use 2048-byte sectors

Look at your output from "dmesg" - there are a number of these:

[ 38.727798] ata3.00: error: { ICRC ABRT }

and other errors. As I suspected you have a failing Western Digital hard drive. I suggest you burn a copy of the Ultimate Boot CD (find it on Google) and use the hard disk tools for Western there and see if it is repairable. In the meantime backup all your precious data.

lagagnon,

Thanks for the help diagnosing the potentially-failing hard drive. I had Ultimate Boot CD on my list of things to try. I was on vacation last week and am going to visit my aunt this afternoon. I'll let you know what I find.

Thanks for all of the help.

While getting ready to go to my Aunt's to work on her computer, I was looking at the output from dmesg and /var/log/syslog more closely. I noticed that there are errors (SError: { 10B8B Dispar BadCRC }) on both ATA ports 1 and 3. The errors on port 3 appeared in the dmesg output and the same errors appeared on port 1 in /var/log/syslog. lagagnon suggested that the hard drive might be failing (I'm guessing that's on port 3), but if there's a problem on port 1, too, then am I right that the disk drive might be fine and the problem might be the ATA bus? The relevant output from dmesg and /var/log/syslog is below.

Thanks,

P.

But you've only got one hard drive in that machine and I've never seen a bus itself give an error, it is usually the device connected to the bus, ie in your case the drive is going....

Just an update:

On the 13th I left the Ultimate Boot Disk sitting on my desk when I went to check my Aunt's computer out, so I didn't get to run the Western Digital disk diagnostics. I'll be back there this week and will try then.

On the 13th, the computer wouldn't boot (the usual grub errors 16 and 18), but I booted from the CD and let my Aunt catch up on her web-based e-mail, etc. On a whim, I restarted the computer from the HD and it started without any grub or ATA errors! It's been running since the 13th (i.e. 8 days now) without any problems. I don't know what'll happen if it power cycles.

I'll post again after I've run those diagnostics.

Thanks for all of the help!

Just wanted to say that my Aunt's computer has been running fine this last month. I ran the Ultimate Boot Disk diagnostics for Western Digital like lagagnon suggested and didn't find any errors, ATA or otherwise. The only thing that we've changed is that we don't shut the computer down for any long period of time any more. (I convinced my Aunt that it doesn't draw much power and that it won't burn down her house if she leaves it on.) My Aunt has lost power twice in thunderstorms, but restarted the computer right away without any problems. I've checked the machine a few times and restarted it many times. Every time it's started without problems or ATA port errors. lagagnon seems convinced that the problem is the hard drive, and I'd bet that he's right, but I'm still suspicious about the ATA bus. I'd hate to install a new hard drive and then find out that it's the bus after all. My Aunt is happy at the moment, so I'm going to wait until the problem re-occurs or I have to install a new version of Mint. FYI: My Aunt's golf and church friends all think that she's "cool" because she's running Linux.

lagagnon, thanks for all of your help!!!
