GRUB not working anymore

robrunner · 2015-06-04 12:40:16

I already have had arch installed and working for some time now.
I wanted to delete Windows (had it in dual boot) and simply deleted its partition (using gparted). After that I couldn't boot anymore.
I can enter my system using the super grub disk.
I already tried the following:

grub-install /dev/sda
grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg

but that's not changing anything.

On booting it simply says:
Samsung SSD 840 series boot failed. Or something like that.

I really don't know what else to do.

Here is my grub.cfg. Arch is installed on /dev/sda6.

Did you chroot into your installation before issuing those grub commands?

Please use code tags for config files.

I booted into my system using the super grub disk and typed the commands simply into the terminal.

Read this:

Post the output of:

lsblk -f

Not a Sysadmin issue, moving to NC...

You need to chroot into your installed system and then issue all those commands

Use Arch install iso.

Mount your filesystem unter /mnt

arch-chroot /mnt /bin/bash

grub-install --target=i386-pc --recheck /dev/sda
grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg

exit

unmount your filesystems

If that doesn't work then it's not a grub problem, but something is wrong with your harddrive or partition layout
