    [Solved] no boot option with grub boot error

    Below is in the "menu.lst" file content in /boot/grub/ by using live cd. It happened since I upgraded from jaunty to karmic. And I did not "complete the upgrade command: upgrade-from-grub-legacy", then comes my problem. Nothing can be changed for this file (keyboard is disable by the live cd). What to do as to bring back the boot option.

    default 0
    timeout 10

    ### BEGIN AUTOMAGIC KERNELS LIST
    ## lines between the AUTOMAGIC KERNELS LIST markers will be modified
    ## by the debian update-grub script except for the default options below

    ## DO NOT UNCOMMENT THEM, Just edit them to your needs

    ## ## Start Default Options ##
    ## default kernel options
    ## default kernel options for automagic boot options
    ## If you want special options for specific kernels use kopt_x_y_z
    ## where x.y.z is kernel version. Minor versions can be omitted.
    ## e.g. kopt=root=/dev/hda1 ro
    ## kopt_2_6_8=root=/dev/hdc1 ro
    ## kopt_2_6_8_2_686=root=/dev/hdc2 ro
    # kopt=root=UUID=7eafc764-da64-4a28-8042-752b9eb621fc ro

    ## default grub root device
    ## e.g. groot=(hd0,0)
    # groot=7eafc764-da64-4a28-8042-752b9eb621fc

    ## should update-grub create alternative automagic boot options
    ## e.g. alternative=true
    ## alternative=false
    # alternative=true

    ## should update-grub lock alternative automagic boot options
    ## e.g. lockalternative=true
    ## lockalternative=false
    # lockalternative=false

    ## additional options to use with the default boot option, but not with the
    ## alternatives
    ## e.g. defoptions=vga=791 resume=/dev/hda5
    # defoptions=quiet splash

    ## should update-grub lock old automagic boot options
    ## e.g. lockold=false
    ## lockold=true
    # lockold=false

    ## Xen hypervisor options to use with the default Xen boot option
    # xenhopt=

    ## Xen Linux kernel options to use with the default Xen boot option
    # xenkopt=console=tty0

    ## altoption boot targets option
    ## multiple altoptions lines are allowed
    ## e.g. altoptions=(extra menu suffix) extra boot options
    ## altoptions=(recovery) single
    # altoptions=(recovery mode) single

    ## controls how many kernels should be put into the menu.lst
    ## only counts the first occurence of a kernel, not the
    ## alternative kernel options
    ## e.g. howmany=all
    ## howmany=7
    # howmany=all

    ## should update-grub create memtest86 boot option
    ## e.g. memtest86=true
    ## memtest86=false
    # memtest86=true

    ## should update-grub adjust the value of the default booted system
    ## can be true or false
    # updatedefaultentry=false

    ## should update-grub add savedefault to the default options
    ## can be true or false
    # savedefault=false

    ## ## End Default Options ##

    Re: no boot option with grub boot error

    Looks fine to me. I don't see the problem.
    You choose Chainload into GRUB 2 and get GRUB 2's boot menu.
    You choose one of the OSs (down below), and you get that OS using GRUB Legacy.
    What am I not seeing here?

        Re: no boot option with grub boot error

        I'm to guess what the problem is?
        Well, I see core.img abd boot..img, so it should boot with GRUB 2 (I would think).
        As for GRUB legacy, there's a menu.lst, but I don't see the GRUB Legacy files (e.g., stage_1, stage_2, stage_1_5). Maybe someone else can solve this puzzle. I must admit, I've been heavy into detailed emails and may be too tired to see the glitch here (especially without some hint from you what's not working). I mean, if you want it to boot using GRUB legacy, you could use Super Grub Disk to Fix the Boot of GNU/Linux. Or, you could use SGD to boot into your new OS and install grub (GRUB legacy) from repository, then set it up (root--setup--quit) using standard methods, and that way you'd have GRUB Legacy working (but not GRUB 2, although GRUB 2 would still be there if you wanted to go the other way and install it to control the booting).

            Since you have no keyboard with the Kubuntu Live CD, your best bet is to use Super Grub Disk to boot into your Kubuntu. Or, try to use SGD to actually "Fix Boot" of GNU/Linux, and then you can boot into the Kubuntu. Or, you could do a fresh install of Kubuntu using the Kubuntu Live CD (it goes fast, at least it does for me, like 25 minutes or less)--BUT if you have any personal data laying around, make sure it is out of the way or backed up. (Just a note, btw: I'm not sure what the Error 15 is referring to in this case since you do have both boot menus--a grub.cfg and a menu.lst; although the Error 15 could be referring to some other file it can't find but needs ... puzzling. As I noted, however, you do NOT have the old GRUB Legacy files like stage 1 and stage 2 and stage 1.5. BUT, you should be able to boot using GRUB 2.)

              question: where can i find SGD? hoping the action will take place only in the boot sector;
              comment: i prefer not to reinstall the fresh one, there still customised desktop and and several files downloaded; it takes more time to install the fresh one.


              " ...you do NOT have the old GRUB Legacy files like stage 1 and stage 2 and stage 1.5..." I didn't touch any files as you said;

                Thanks for your help of SGD, that brings me to the link below:

                And the problem has been solved!!!

                  Hmmm, here's mine, too:

                  (SECTION 3)
                  ... BUT, you told me you couldn't work from a live CD because your keyboard wouldn't work that way.

                  Thus, using SGD you boot into Kubuntu and then re-install GRUB 2 from there -- that was the plan.

                  Glad you got it.

                      Re: [Solved] no boot option with grub boot error

                      Ah! I see now. (Sometimes, in the live CD, some thins don't work, like a frozen keyboard, and I thought that was your problem). As explained in my how-to (and the others), grub.cfg is read-only; so to edit it you have to flip the write bit on it; however, any edits you do directly to grub.cfg will be overwritten any time grub-update is run by you or by the system.

                        The read only file sometimes can be edited but can not saved until using the root privilege.

                        I didn't mean in that sense. Even you are 'sudo kate' , you can not type any thing in this file. Like a frozen keyboard!!!
