I setup my machine with a Windows7 partition and a partition for Ubuntu 9.10. I used EasyBCD 2.0 Beta (build 76) to add an Ubuntu option to the boot menu selecting Grub2. When I try to boot into Ubuntu it dumps me into a Grub4Dos command prompt.
This is how I have my machine partitioned:
Windows Boot Loader
Windows 7 (C: )
Shared Drive (D: )
Ubuntu (Ext4)
Swap
Ubuntu and Swap were shown as pdc_cggabh5 and pdc_cggabh6.
I told the installer to install the bootloader (grub2) on drive #5 (pdc_cggabh5).
In grub4dos, these are the outputs of the following commands:
>root (hd0,0)
Filesystem type is ntfs, partition type 0x07
>root (hd0,1)
Filesystem type is ntfs, partition type 0x07
>root (hd0,2)
Filesystem type is ntfs, partition type 0x07
>root (hd0,3)
Error 17: Cannot mount selected partition
>root (hd0,4)
Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83
>root (hd0,5)
Error 17: Cannot mount selected partition
I'm assuming that (hd0,4) is my ubuntu partition, however if I run:
>find --set-root /boot/grub/core.img
I get:
Error 15: File not found
I tried this:
>root(hd0,4)
Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83
>kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.31-14-generic
[Linux-bzImage, setup=0x3400, size=0x3bef40]
>initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.31-14-generic
[Linux-initrd @ 0x7f7b0000, 0x80fd20 bytes]
>boot
Then it loads a bunch of stuff and the end of the output says:
Begin: Running /scripts/init-premount ...
Done.
Begin: Mounting root file system... ...
Begin: Running /scripts/local-top ...
Done.
Begin Wiating for root file system... ...
Done.
Gave up waiting for root device. (etc...)
ALERT! does not exist. Dropping to a shell!
BusyBox v1.13.3 (Ubuntu 1:1.13.3-1ubuntu7) built-in shell (ash)
Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands.
(initramfs) _
At this point I have no idea what to do. I'm not convinced that the expected behavior of the entry that EasyBCD put in my Windows Bootloader is to be dropped into Grub4Dos.
Any advice?
Thanks in advance.
Addendum:
I failed to mention that I have a RAID0 hard drive configuration, and that both operating systems (Windows 7 and Ubuntu 9.10) are the 64bit versions.
