Repairing grub by booting from the Ubuntu live-CD
I just installed the new version of Ubuntu (12.04). The installation went fine but the bootloader installation at the end did not work. When I turn on the computer, the new version of the ubuntu does not show in the old bootloader (grub2) menu. What to do?
#Boot the computer with the Ubuntu live cd, mount the / partition under /home/ubuntu/a and issue the following command :
sudo mount --bind /dev/ /home/ubuntu/a/dev
sudo mount --bind /proc/ /home/ubuntu/a/proc
sudo mount --bind /sys/ /home/ubuntu/a/sys
sudo chroot /home/ubuntu/a
#Then let grub2 create /boot/grub/grub.cfg by autodetecting the present OS'es
sudo update-grub
Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-3.2.0-23-generic
Found initrd image: /boot/initrd.img-3.2.0-23-generic
Found memtest86+ image: /boot/memtest86+.bin
Found Windows 7 (loader) on /dev/sda1
Found Ubuntu 10.10 (10.10) on /dev/sda6
done
#Exit from the modified chroot
exit
#Run grub-install
sudo grub-install --root-directory=/home/ubuntu/a /dev/sda
You should get the message :
Installation finished. No error reported.
