+ | ==== howto boot from grub2 rescue console ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | If you drop to the grub rescue after cloning a system disc or something, it's possible to boot an existing system. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Enter this, to start a system on sda3 for example: | ||
+ | |||
+ | set prefix=(hd0, | ||
+ | insmod (hd0, | ||
+ | |||
+ | if this works, the console gets upgraded to standard grub console. | ||
+ | |||
+ | if it doesn' | ||
+ | |||
+ | This boots arch linux: | ||
+ | |||
+ | set root=(hd0, | ||
+ | linux / | ||
+ | initrd / | ||
+ | boot | ||
+ | |||
+ | This is required to boot debian - unfortunately the filenames contain versionnumbers :( | ||
+ | set root=(hd0, | ||
+ | linux / | ||
+ | initrd / | ||
+ | boot | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | This should boot your system. Just re-install grub: | ||
+ | |||
+ | update-grub | ||
+ | grub-install /dev/sdX | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | ===== Bugs ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Inside a chroot, grub complains | ||
+ | # update-grub | ||
+ | Generating grub configuration file ... | ||
+ | WARNING: Device /dev/ram0 not initialized in udev database even after waiting 10000000 microseconds. | ||
+ | ... | ||
+ | |||
+ | Fix: | ||
+ | |||
+ | Outside chroot /debian/: | ||
+ | |||
+ | mkdir / | ||
+ | mount --bind /run/udev / | ||
+ | mount --bind /run/udev / | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | ===== Crypto Bugs ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | Grub complains root device couldn' | ||
+ | |||
+ | Fix: | ||
+ | - set | ||
+ | GRUB_ENABLE_CRYPTODISK=y | ||
+ | |||
+ | apt install cryptsetup-initramfs lvm2 | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | - if it is a brtfs, set in / | ||
+ | btrfs | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | Commands to execute in chroot to reinstall grub: | ||
+ | |||
+ | update-initramfs -c -k all | ||
+ | grub-install /dev/sdX | ||
+ | update-grub | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | If update-grub echos: " | ||
