Title: Grub error 15 just after install
Post by: egareg on May 04, 2013, 10:14:18 PM

As a former user of Free-EOS, I came to SME Server confidently.
I burned the ISO and I installed SME Server on my new hardware before I move all my datas and applications from Free-EOS to SME.

But... When SME server reboot after install, I get an error from Grub :
Grub stage 1.5
Error 15

It seems that a file can't be found. OK, but wich one ? How to place it and where to place it ?

I use a PC with Pentium4 and 2 hard disks SATA (160 GB) for Raid 1.

Thanks a lot.

Were the HDs used previousely?

This may be required Re-use HD (http://wiki.contribs.org/Raid#Reusing_Hard_Drives) or Write Grub Boot Sector (http://wiki.contribs.org/Hard_Disk_Partitioning#HowTo:_Write_the_GRUB_boot_sector)

One of them was used with Mandriva Linux and Windows XP.
The other one must be new, but I'm not totally sure (both of them have been sold as *new* disks, never been used, but I found a Windows system installed on the first one).

I will follow the steps described on Re-using Hard drives (http://wiki.contribs.org/Raid#Reusing_Hard_Drives) with a live cd.
I'll go back after.

I'm back...

The first method (Re-using hard drives) didn't work. I had Grub error 15 again.

The second method (Write Grub boot sector) seems to be better : my sme server boots.

Thanks a lot !
