 Posted: Mon Mar 17, 2014 11:22 am Post subject: [Solved] Grub2 not loading grub.cfg |
 |
|
I'm trying to get grub2 working after moving a new install to another disk. The new disk is gpt partitioned and I have a 6mb ef02 partition for grub to use (and it complains without it). I perform the following:
| Code: | grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
grub2-install --recheck /dev/sda |
and I get "Installation finished. No error reported."
on reboot I get a normal grub2 command prompt. running:
| Code: | | configfile $prefix/grub.cfg |
gets me the menu.
Why won't it load the config file automatically?

If that is the order you are doing it, it is the WRONG order. Sorry to have a simple answer but try
| Code: |
grub2-install /dev/sda
|
THEN AFTER THAT
| Code: |
grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
|
Hope this helps!

| Perhaps /boot is a separate partition for you and you do not have the symlink "boot -> ." in it? |

I figured it out - on another Gentoo install I noticed I had two files - grub.cfg and grub.conf. Despite reading ".cfg" in numerous places I had somehow called the file ".conf"
Doh!!!! Stupid.
Thanks for the help everyone! |
