FIRST: I know this same problem has been discussed, but I have tried things and haven't found anything regarding Super Grub 2 and such.
Well the issue is pretty much defined in the title, but to be more precise:
System boots up and let's me go in the BIOS
or Boot Manager
. After that it boots to a black screen with a blinking cursor but it doesn't go past it.
Now the funny thing is that if plug in my UBS stick with Rescatux installed (Rescatux + Super Grub 2 Disk
) and choose Super Grub 2 Disk and then there choose Detect any GRUB2 configuration file (grub.cfg)
it leads me to a menu with (hd1,msdos1)/boot/grub/grub.cfg
and let's me boot into Ubuntu.
My specs are as follows:
Intel HM76 board
nVidia GT650M
i7-3630QM
8GB 1600Mhz RAM
First HDD: 120GB Kingston V300 SSD (has Ubuntu not partitioned)
Second HDD: 500GB WD Scorpio Blue (has 8GB as SWAP and the rest as an unmounted EXT4 partition)
Edit: BIOS
version is InsydeH20
Edit 2: I've also tried to install GRUB on my second hard driver, but no luck booting.
What seems to be the issue is that I can boot from a USB stick but not from an HDD, any tips?
Answer
Finally solved it (probably not the best way to do it, but who cares!) and here's how I did it:
- 1- Plug in Super Grub Disk2 and boot into Ubuntu
sudo apt-get install multisystem
- Once there it will ask you where to install GRUB2 (don't ask me why)
- I choose to install it on every disk but the usb drive.
And you are done!
Hope this helped some one.
Correction:
The right way to do this is:
sudo apt-get purge grub-pc grub2
sudo apt-get install grub-pc grub2
Here we choose to install it on every disk available (just in case)
sudo reboot
