after doing a dist-upgrade from wheezy to jessie boot ends up at the grub-rescue command line. Searching for some time I found out that the normal.mod and linux.mod files were place into
Code: Select all
(hd0,msdos1)/boot/grub/i386-pc
Anyway, glad to have found these two files which according to wikis should have been in the grub directory. So I continued with
Code: Select all
set prefix=(hd0,msdos1)/boot/grub/i386-pc
1) insmod normal
2) insmod linux
2) output was "symbol not found ...." (forgot the file's name)
I haven't found any information on those error messages, which are different to the error messages complaining about no space left or so.
How can I fix my grub install from the grub-rescue shell without the need to re-install all of my System?
For those who may think "stupid idiot switches from stable to testing": my desktop environment is XFCE4, which on Wheezy has a couple of bugs that were fixed in Jessie.
