Thread: Grub rescuce - Can not load module

this fourth variant of trying ubuntu installed , have lost how mant different steps of troubleshooting have done.

attach long list of specs wait request thewy need. @ livecd enviroment atm

have gone basic partion layout because thought raid1 > lvm may causing issues.

installing on single 750gb drive:
partioned
4gb - swap
50gb /
rest /home


every install drops me @ grub rescue> prompt.

can boot livcd installed no problem.


grub rescue troubles:

can ls , find partions of drive lablled

(hd0,msdos3) - home partion
(hd0,msdos2) - root partion
(hd0,msdos1) - swap area


ls (hd0,msdos2)/boot/grub - lists .mod's , both linux , normal there.

issue comands:

set prefix=(hd0,msdos2)/boot/grub
set root=(hd0,msdos2)

insmod normal
error 'invalid object type'

insmod linux
error 'invalid object type'


tried point via full path

insmod (hd0,msdos2)/boot/grub/normal.mod [i]also [/i ]linux.mod

brings same error.
error 'invalid object type'

tried load /usr/lib/grub/i386-pc

again! gives same error.

least getting confused , frustrated.
