Title: Grub error: I can't boot SME 7.4 after update.
Post by: ourspolaire on April 06, 2009, 04:03:47 PM
Hi  :P,

I don't know if the update cause the problem but yesterday I did the update (yum update) but it is only this morning I did (signal-event post-upgrade; signal-event reboot) then the Grub problem occurs. :???:

When I boot a have this message:

Quote
GNU GRUB version 0.95 (615K lower / 1571840K upper memory)

[Minimal BASH-like line editing is supported.
For the first word, TAB lists possible command completions.
Anywhere else TAB lists the possible completions of a device/filename.]

Grug>_

What I have to do to recovery?   :???:
I know nothing about Grub (I think I will begin to learn something today :cool:).

Updates should be problem free, if not they should be reported in the bug tracker. Please launch a bug report for it and post a referral here for future readers. Thanks in advance.

From the SME 7.4 cd:

I tried "sme rescue" without success.
I also tried "smei586 rescue" without success:  I got a "kernel panic".

On this site I downloaded super_grub_disk_0.9774.iso and I burned a cd.

I booted it in the server.  I chose the automatic option and run... and that's all!
The server booted normally!!! :grin: :grin: :grin:
