This is what the GRUB documentation says about this error: http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/legacy/grub.html#Stage2-errors 24 : Attempt to access block outside partition This error is returned if a linear block address is outside of the disk partition. This generally happens because of a corrupt filesystem on the disk or a bug in the code handling it in GRUB (it's a great debugging tool). Heiko
