Unexpected Grub Error 15

All I did was restart my computer lol.

Output of fdisk -l | grep -i linux

It LOOKS right, but, obviously something is wrong. What is it?

Thanks,

You re only using the fallback kernel. Is there a reason for this?

atrus6 · 2011-04-30 20:35:25

Oops yeah. I was just trying something random to see if it would fix it (or do something) and I never uncommented it. Either way (with or without that section being commented out) it still gives me a 15 error.

You did nothing interesting before restart? Maybe double check uuid?

atrus6 · 2011-04-30 21:05:39

I had just gotten up, was browsing gmail and my wireless died. (It's not that uncommon of an occurance) I was trying to reconnect (sudo dhcpcd wlan0) and it caused everything to freeze. Not really wanting to figure out what was wrong, I just hit the reset button. That's when I got the error. The UUIDs match from fstab and I never touch that file (the format confuses me, and I don't want to break anything)

filesysttem corruption? just a guess

atrus6 · 2011-04-30 22:23:23

I can mount everything just fine though. I'm running a Puppy live CD, and can explore everything just fine.

cell · 2011-04-30 22:35:36

It is strange, just for the sake of it press e in the grub menu and replace the uuid with /dev/sdaX replace X accordantly.
filesystem corruption? Maybe you could run a check?

atrus6 · 2011-05-01 00:34:36

I ran fcsk on all partitions, and the only error that it found was the last read and write time was May 1st.

Maybe you need to reinstall grub bootloader on the harddisk: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/GR … stallation

rwd · 2011-05-01 08:39:41

You need to make 100% sure that the ones in fstab and menu.lst are the same as the command 'blkid' gives. Something else you might try is reinstalling the grub bootloader on the harddisk https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/GR … stallation.
