Linux grub

grub rescue>

The problem: <syntaxhighlight lang=bash> ... Entering rescue mode... grub rescue> </source>

Get into the normal grub

Find your devices: <syntaxhighlight lang=bash> grub rescue> ls </source>

Find the directory where the normal.mod file resides

In this example we have LVM and the /boot/grub is in VG vg-root and the LV lv-root. <syntaxhighlight lang=bash> grub rescue> ls (lvm/vg--root-lv--root)/boot/grub/i386-pc ... normal.mod ... </source>

Set the prefix to the right place

<syntaxhighlight lang=bash> grub rescue> set prefix=(lvm/vg--root-lv--root)/boot/grub </source>

Now you can load and start the module called "normal"

<syntaxhighlight lang=bash> grub rescue> insmod normal grub rescue> normal </source>

If the menu not occurs you get something like this: <syntaxhighlight lang=bash>

                 GNU GRUB  version 1.99,5.11.0.175.2.0.0.42.2

  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.

Normal grub is bootet, now start the Kernel

Example for LVM: <syntaxhighlight lang=bash> insmod gzio insmod part_msdos insmod lvm insmod ext2 set root='lvmid/KAlPF4-Qb8I-Sx41-10cC-lACw-Msoh-3qEohv/pmE9Nt-rLG3-FlNM-CwOT-hy42-gSnm-fZSn3l' linux /boot/vmlinuz-4.4.0-53-generic root=/dev/mapper/vg--root-lv--root ro initrd /boot/initrd.img-4.4.0-53-generic </source>

Example for ZFS-Root: <syntaxhighlight lang=bash> insmod gzio insmod part_msdos insmod zfs set root='hd0,msdos4' linux /ROOT/ubuntu-15.04@/boot/vmlinuz-4.4.0-57-generic root=ZFS=rpool/ROOT/ubuntu-15.04 boot=zfs zfs_force=1 ro quiet splash nomdmonddf nomdmonisw $vt_handoff initrd /ROOT/ubuntu-15.04@/boot/initrd.img-4.4.0-57-generic </source>
