Hi,
After a Windows update my (dual boot) system won't boot into fedora
anymore.
Somehow the grub bootloader doesn' t start.
After booting this is what I see:
/Minimal Bash-like line editing is supported. For the first word TAB
lists possible command completions. Anywhere else TAB lists possible
device or file completions.
grub>_/
When I issue the command "exit" the Windows bootloader pops up.
I googled on this subject, but found many completely different answers.
I would appreciate any suggestion. How can I recover my system?
The Solution:
01. Boot a live fedora cd or dvd
02. mount your on-disk fedora linux on .... say /fedora, like so:
mkdir /fedora
mount /dev/sd?? /fedora # where ?? is the disk and partition
where your fedora is installed.
03. tar cf - dev | tar -C /fedora -xpvf -
04. chroot /fedora
05. grub2-install --recheck /dev/sd??
06. grub2-mkconfig -o /etc/grub2.cfg
When the command (at point 8) returns, then
07. cd /dev
08. rm -rf *
Why? because /dev/ is populated dynamically at boot time.
Let the list know how it went.
