New install of Mag10 Beta1 leaves Grub in rescue mode

[banjo]

I just installed Mageia 10 beta1, and when I reboot the computer it leaves Grub in rescue mode. Here is the error.

Code: Select all

error: ../../grub-core/kern/d1.c:456:symbol `grub_cli_set_auth_needed' not found.
Entering rescue mode...
grub rescue>

I installed this on a computer that was running Mageia9. During the installation I told it to use the existing partitions. I mostly accepted the defaults during the installation. It connected with my WiFi successfully and did the updates.

I am over my head with how to deal with grub rescue mode.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Hi Banjo,

Install ISO was "Mageia-10-beta1......" ? please fill the blank.
Install media was: USB, Optical, ISO-on-partition?
If a CI install, which DE(s)?

did you note any install errors, especially during the grub installation part?

A quick "google" suggests that resetting the grub boot delay to greater than 7 sec may be a fix (!)
so can you do a dirty re-install ( i.e. custom disk partitioning, do not format the partition(s) ) and at the configuration window, change the grub settings.

[doktor5000]

Some basic information on that box might be helpful.
Is this legacy BIOS or UEFI boot? What type of disks/controller do you have Mageia and/or grub on?

In rescue mode you can use basic grub commands to see what disks grub sees, and also if it can see the files. You could even manually boot your install that way if you're interested.
See e.g. https://www.linuxfoundation.org/blog/bl ... 2-on-linux

For some background what the error message means and what probably caused it check https://forums.opensuse.org/t/grub-is-c ... /185887/12

Sorry about the lack of details.

I installed from the Plasma Live iso, Mageia-10-beta1-Live-Plasma-x86_64.iso. The live iso booted just fine.

I did not see any indications of failures during the installation.

The grub time delay was left at the default 10 seconds. The only change I made to grub was to set it to use text output instead of graphical.

Here is the output of an old inxi from when it was running Mageia 9

Thanks for the links. I will go study the commands and see if I can trouble shoot the problem some more.

[doktor5000]

The live iso booted just fine.

Well the live iso does not care about your installed bootloader at all

[banjo]

I totally agree. But it does demonstrate that the hardware is working and able to run Mag10.

I booted into grub rescue and tried some of the suggested commands.

Mag10Beta1GrubError-2.jpg (1.12 MiB) Viewed 302 times

(hd1) is another disk in the system that just has data on it. I don't know what (hd2) is. The thumb drive is not attached to the system.

After entering the command

Code: Select all

ls (hd0, gpt2)/


the system hung up and stopped responding to the keyboard. No output was created. That makes continuing to trouble shoot more difficult.

I also tried ls (hd0,gpt2), ls (hd1,gpt1) ls (hd0,gpt1) and all of them hang up.

Is there any value in booting the live Mag10 and looking at it from there?

[Germ]

I would suggest boot with the classical ISO and choose Rescue, then reinstall grub.

[banjo]

I have not tried that before. I will download the ISO and give that a go.
Thanks

[banjo]

Update:
I booted the live ISO again and looked around. I mounted /dev/sda2 which should be the boot drive and it looked normal as far as I can tell. /boot/grub2 is there. There is a grub.cfg file. So the disk is there and working. Doesn't mean that what is on it is correct, but there is stuff on it.

I looked at /etc/issue on the hard drive /dev/sda2 and it indicated that it has Mageia 10 on it.

I shut it down and booted from the Classic ISO and went into rescue mode. I opted to re-install the boot loader, which it indicated it had done.

Upon rebooting the computer, grub went into rescue mode again.

Not sure what to do next.

I might try re-installing the beta and decline the updates to see if an update is causing a problem.

Maybe I should try installing from the classic ISO to see if that works better.

[benmc]

can you just re-install, but not apply the updates at the completion?

there is likely a new kernel since the release, and grub would have been updated.
so, try a basic install and see if that is any different.

[banjo]

I re-installed the Live ISO, skipping the media setup and updates.

The result was the same. Grub boots into rescue mode.

The only thing that I have done different from my normal installation process is telling it to use the old partitions. Is it possible that something has been left in there that is not compatible with Mag10? Does the installer completely reformat the / partition? I am telling it not to reformat /home. What does it do to the EFI partition?

I could try installing with the Classic ISO to see if that works better. Or I can try telling it to use the whole disk, re-partition, re-format everything.

Ideas?

Banjo

[doktor5000]

Might help fi you would add the output of

Code: Select all

lsblk -f

and maybe attach the output of https://github.com/arvidjaar/bootinfoscript

[banjo]

The computer will not run at all. Grub is in rescue mode. I can boot the live ISO and see what I can find on the boot disk. I will look into it.

[banjo]

I booted the live ISO and mounted the boot disk on /home/live/mag10BootDisk to look at the disk for any obvious problems.

Here is the output from lsblk -f

From what little I know about this part of the boot sequence it looks pretty normal to me.

I think that my next test will be to install again from the Classic ISO and see if the same problem persists.

If that doesn't fix the problem, I will probably re-install with a re-partition of the entire disk to see if there is some detritus in the old partitions that is causing the problem.

Stay tuned.
