I installed a few days ago Kubuntu 12.10 and have structured the sdb new. Up to the point of new installation I had three partitions: sdb1: a faulty Kubuntu 12.04, sdb2 Linux Mint, sdb3 current working Kubuntu 12.04. I suspect my old grub was on sdb1.
First I erased with the partition tool sdb1 und sdb2 and created a new partition sdb1, with an empty space between, where eventually sdb2 will be created. Subsequently I installed the new Kubuntu 12.10 on sdb1, this will be my normal working version. Once accomplished, I will also erase sdb3. Each of these three partitions have about 37 MB space, no Swap-Partition.
When I start now, the BIOS starts and then after the usual infos, once the Grub used to offer me the selections, Bios restarts anew. This turns in an endless loop.
When I start with the Grub2 Rescue disk, I can first select (plus the usual other choices)
and then I get the choices
I can start both Kubuntus without any problems, except some of my configuration is lost.
Now, I think this is not really the ideal setup to start a good system. I have done the «sudo update-grub» in both distros, but the problem remains.
sda is a pure data partition formated in NTFS, however I have no Windows OS on my computer. (TB, 5 partitions)
Has anybody a solution before I delete an almost finished installation and restart again? Thanks a lot for your attention
