GRUB Error 21

[thejavi]

Perdonar de nuevo, pero no tengo ni idea de por donde buscar las opciones avanzadas que me decis, porque si es desde la bios, por ahi no me ha parecido verla.
Gracias por vuestra paciencia.

Hola Thejavi:

Imagino que lo que los colegas intentan decirte es que tienes que cambiar en el Arranque (eso que aparece cuando le das a "Supr" durante el reinicio del PC) , que ya sabes como acceder , porque has publicado los datos.
Bien, segun ello, y copi de lo que tu informas:
BOOT PRIORITY
Boot Priority = HDD>FDD>CD-ROM>LAN
HDD Priority= Built-in HDD>PC Card
Network Boot Protocol= PXE
Es en boot Priority = HDD , ... etc . donde debes cambiar el orden (esto, normalmente se hace con las teclas "RePag" y AvPag"). Alli deberias poner el dispositvo desde donde la CMOS busca cargar el Software (sistema operativo) para poner activa toda la maquina y sirva para el "ser humano".

[thejavi]

Gracias rd, pero que orden es el que tu me aconsejas?, sorry about that pero no tengo ni pajolera y claro, si me pongo a hacer pruebas corro el riesgo de tener que reinstalar el windows repetidas veces y no se hasta que punto eso sera bueno para el computer, podriais ayudarme?
Mil gracias!!!

Hola, te echaba de menos ...
Bien, por lo que tu mismo pusiste:
BOOT PRIORITY
Boot Priority = HDD>FDD>CD-ROM>LAN
HDD Priority= Built-in HDD>PC Card
Network Boot Protocol= PXE

Pereciera que NO tienes opcion a arrancar desde USB (no aparece en la Boot Priority que muestras), pero puede que este en otro de los menus que se activan dandole "Av Pag" o "Re Pag" durante el Setup ...
Como te decia OPinguino, deberias cargar el GRUB (desde el HDD -tambien se peuede desde diskette- y luego activar las particiones "/" y "/root" ...
Asi, creo debiera quedar la
Boot PrioritY = HDD>FDD>USB>CD-ROM
Segun este ejemplo, el Grub deberi estar en el Hard disk y la disquetera "vacia". Si tuvieras :
Boot Priority = FDDUSBHDDCD-ROM
Entonces, arrancaris el GRUB desde Disquette

Espero que te sirva
(El GRUB te permite arrancar varios Sistemas Operativos, Windows entre ellos)

mi probrema es el siguiente y no se q hacer!!! cuando termino de instalar ubuntu (tengo previamente instalado win xp) al reiniciar aparece un error 17 del grub y me deja sin poder iniciar win ni ubuntu me toka hacer maromas para recuperar winxp pero necesito instalar linux no se nada sobre arranques ni comandos bajo linux

[rd12686950]

Para reinstalar grub:
Arrancas con el CD Live. (de cualquier "distibucion")
Desde la consola, entras como root .
Escribes:
mkdir /debian
mount /dev/hda1 /debian
chroot /debian
grub-install /dev/hda
Y ahora reinicia el equipo.

Pongo "/debian" por poner un nombre, pero vale cualquier nombre de carpeta.
hda1 (1ª partición del primer disco duro, pero cada cual que ponga la que precise).
Y luego hda, porque es donde quiero que me instale el GRUB (al comienzo del primer disco duro).
Si te da algun error tal com que "The file /boot/grub/stage1 not read correctly."
Debes hacer:

grub
grub> find /boot/grub/stage1
// en mi caso me da (hd0, 1)
grub>root (hd0,1)
grub>kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.5 root=/dev/hda2 splash=silent vga=791
grub>setup(hd0)

Pero, com ha dicho antes algun colega, descargate GAG (es de un buen gallego), prepara un diskette como te dicen sus intrucciones, metelo en el arranque de tu PC y buscando en cual particion esta tu /boot , el solito hara todo (ademas tiene un menu grafico sumamente intuitivo ... y en CASTELLANO ...

Si necesitas mas ayuda no dudes en escribir, RD

Por si os sirve, encontre un listado de "mensajes de erro" de GRUB en la pagina:
http://www.uruk.org/orig-grub/errors.html , Autor ERIK BOLEIN. Lo siento, esta en Ingles.

Errors Reported by the Stage 1
The general way that the Stage 1 handles errors is to print an error string and then halt. Pressing Ctrl-Alt-Del will reboot.

The following is a comprehensive list of error messages for the Stage 1:

* "Hard Disk Error"

This error message will occur if the Stage 2 or Stage 1.5 is being read from a hard disk, and the attempt to determine the size and geometry of the hard disk fails.

* "Floppy Error"

This error message will occur if the Stage 2 or Stage 1.5 is being read from a floppy disk, and the attempt to determine the size and geometry of the floppy disk fails. It's listed as a different error since the probe sequence is different than for hard disks.

* "Read Error"

This error message will occur if a disk read error happens while trying to read the Stage 2 or Stage 1.5.

* "Geom Error"

This error message will occur if the location of the Stage 2 or Stage 1.5 is not in the area supported by reading the disk with the BIOS directly. This could occur because the BIOS translated geometry has been changed by the user or the disk is moved to another machine or controller after installation, or GRUB was not installed using itself (if it was, the Stage 2 version of this error would have been seen during that process and it would not have completed the install).

Errors Reported by the Stage 1.5
The general way that the Stage 1.5 handles errors is to print an error number in the form "Error: " and then halt. Pressing Ctrl-Alt-Del will reboot.

The error numbers correspond to the Errors Reported by the Stage 2 in the listed sequence.

Errors Reported by the Stage 2
The general way that the Stage 2 handles errors is to abort the operation in question, print an error string, then (if possible) either continue based on the fact that an error occurred or wait for the user to deal with the error.

The following is a comprehensive list of error messages for the Stage 2 (error numbers for the Stage 1.5 are listed before the colon in each description):

* 1 : "Selected item won't fit into memory"

This error is returned if a kernel, module, or raw file load command is either trying to load it's data such that it won't fit into memory or it is simply too big.

* 2 : "Selected disk doesn't exist"

This error is returned if the device part of a device- or full filename refers to a disk or BIOS device that is not present or not recognized by the BIOS in the system.

* 3 : "Disk read error"

This error is returned if there is a disk read error when trying to probe or read data from a particular disk.

* 4 : "Disk write error"

This error is returned if there is a disk write error when trying to write to a particular disk. This would generally only occur during an install of set active partition command.

* 5 : "Disk geometry error"

This error is returned when a read is attempted at a linear block address beyond the end of the BIOS translated area. This generally happens if your disk is larger than the BIOS can handle (512MB for (E)IDE disks on older machines or larger than 8GB in general).

* 6 : "Attempt to access block outside partition"

This error is returned if a linear block address is outside of the disk partition. This generally happens because of a corrupt filesystem on the disk or a bug in the code handling it in GRUB (it's a great debugging tool).

* 7 : "Partition table invalid or corrupt"

This error is returned if the sanity checks on the integrity of the partition table fail. This is a bad sign.

* 8 : "No such partition"

This error is returned if a partition is requested in the device part of a device- or full filename which isn't on the selected disk.

* 9 : "Bad filename (must be absolute pathname or blocklist)"

This error is returned if a filename is requested which doesn't fit the syntax/rules listed in the Filesystem Description.

* 10 : "Bad file or directory type"

This error is returned if a file requested is not a regular file, but something like a symbolic link, directory, or FIFO.

* 11 : "File not found"

This error is returned if the specified filename cannot be found, but everything else (like the disk/partition info) is OK.

* 12 : "Cannot mount selected partition"

This error is returned if the partition requested exists, but the filesystem type cannot be recognized by GRUB.

* 13 : "Inconsistent filesystem structure"

This error is returned by the filesystem code to denote an internal error caused by the sanity checks of the filesystem structure on disk not matching what it expects. This is usually caused by a corrupt filesystem or bugs in the code handling it in GRUB.

* 14 : "Filesystem compatibility error, can\'t read whole file"

Some of the filesystem reading code in GRUB has limits on the length of the files it can read. This error is returned when the user runs into such a limit.

* 15 : "Error while parsing number"

This error is returned if GRUB was expecting to read a numbur and encountered bad data.

* 16 : "Device string unrecognizable"

This error is returned if a device string was expected, and the string encountered didn't fit the syntax/rules listed in the Filesystem Description.

* 17 : "Invalid device requested"

This error is returned if a device string is recognizable but does not fall under the other device errors.

* 18 : "Invalid or unsupported executable format"

This error is returned if the kernel image boing loaded is not recognized as Multiboot or one of the supported native formats (Linux zImage or bzImage, FreeBSD, or NetBSD).

* 19 : "Loading below 1MB is not supported"

This error is returned if the lowest address in a kernel is below the 1MB boundary. The Linux zImage format is a special case and can be handled since it has a fixed loading address and maximum size.

* 20 : "Unsupported Multiboot features requested"

This error is returned when the Multiboot features word in the Multiboot header requires a feature that is not recognized. The point of this is that the kernel requires special handling which GRUB is likely unable to provide.

* 21 : "Unknown boot failure"

This error is returned if the boot attempt did not succeed for reasons which are unknown.

* 22 : "Must load Multiboot kernel before modules"

This error is returned if the module load command is used before loading a Multiboot kernel. It only makes sense in this case anyway, as GRUB has no idea how to communicate the presence of location of such modules to a non-Multiboot-aware kernel.

* 23 : "Must load Linux kernel before initrd"

This error is returned if the initrd command is used before loading a Linux kernel. Similar to the above error, it only makes sense in that case anyway.

* 24 : "Cannot boot without kernel loaded"

This error is returned if GRUB is told to execute the boot sequence without having a kernel to start.

* 25 : "Unrecognized command"

This error is returned if an unrecognized command is entered into the command-line or in a boot sequence section of a config file and that entry is selected.

* 26 : "Bad or incompatible header on compressed file"

This error is returned if the file header for a supposedly compressed file is bad.

* 27 : "Bad or corrupt data while decompressing file"

This error is returned the run-length decompression code gets an internal error. This is usually from a corrupt file.

* 28 : "Bad or corrupt version of stage1/stage2"

This error is returned if the install command is pointed to incompatible or corrupt versions of the stage1 or stage2. It can't detect corruption in general, but this is a sanity check on the version numbers, which should be correct.

Hola a todos, solo deciros que ya tengo instalado el suse, lo he metido en el disco duro del laptop, juntito al xp, era la unica solucion que me quedaba y lo instale sin ningun tipo de problemas.
La lastima es que no le he podido meter mucha mano aun, entre el trabajo y que ya he empezado las clases otra vez no tengo tiempo para nada.
Me ha reconocido todo el hardware sin problemas, todo menos el wireless, desde linux solo me puedo conectar a internet enchufando el cable, tambien me reconoce nuevo hardware cuando conecto el Ipod, pero el tema es que no encuentro luego manera de desconectarlo de forma segura como en windows, sabriais decirme que debo hacer?
Ya os contare cosas, ah, lo olvidaba, en office cuando estas escribiendo texto tampoco se puede cambiar el color de las letras, es porque no tiene esa opcion?, me gustaria utilizar el office de linux para mis trabajos de clase pero escribiendo solo en negro la verdad que no queda muy bien segun para que cosas.
Gracias y hasta pronto!!!

[rd12686950]

Te felicito sinceramente por los avances ...
Con SUSE nunca he intentado nada, como hasta ahora era de pago ... pero si me dices cual version, y cuales son las caracteristicas de tu wireless , intentare documentarme.

Respecto al "office", tienes el OPEN OFFICE 2.0 ? porque ahi SI que se puede cambiar el color, tipo y tamaño de letras sin ningum problema... otra cosa puede ser algun defecto de instalacion, tanto del SUSE como dle Office...

[thejavi]

Miles de gracias rd, he estado mirando por otros sitios acerca de lo del office y ahora voy a cambiar a linux y probar, si funciona ya contare por aqui por si alguien tiene el mismo problema pueda solucionarlo. Y referente a los datos de mi wireless, ni idea, he estado buscando algo por control panel y no he encontrado o no he sabido, el laptop es un toshiba modelo satelite A50, creo que en Espanya no se ha comercializado este mismo modelo pues cuando me lo iba a comprar buscando en la web toshiba de espanya no aparecia este modelo, es centrino, te lo agradeceria mucho. Por linux solo me puedo conectar enchufando el cable y la conexion la tenemos en el living room, si quiero tirar de wireless tengo que estar en windows y claro, es un rollo estar cambiando todo el rato, y este living room esta siempre busy, vivimos ocho en la casa, asi que ya comprendereis.
Un abrazote y hasta pronto.
Ah, la version de suse es Suse Pro 9.3
