Ubuntu

Error 15: FIle Not Found

Asked by Fuzzanator

I made a gutsy move and did a quad boot. I installed them in this order: VIsta Home Premium x64,
Vista Ultimate, Ubuntu 8.10 x64 and openSUSE 11.1 x64. WIndows and SUSE all load with no
problem but when I try to load Ubuntu I recieve an error message that goes kernel /boot/vmlinuz-
2.6.27-7 generic root=UUID=666e7f64-55a0-439d-91e5-dc83309cc326 ro quiet splash

Error 15: File Not Found

can some one tell me what this is refering to and how to fix it

I have 4 one terabyte SATA hdd in there along with 8 gigs of ram. Originally my windows were on
hdd0 and my linux on hdd1 but I have switched the cables after this msg and now linux is on 0 and
windows on 1

Please help and thanks much

Hi, I'm not really sure If I can help you since I never had two linux version installed at the same time, but anyway, here's what I know about it:

Error 15: File not Found - is an error that grub uses to tell you that it can't find the compressed kernel image that it's supposed to boot. Since grub uses the uuid of the partition you won't get any effect with switching cables (every partition has it's own unique uuid value regardless of driver number). So what I would try is go into suse and check if the installation of suse didn't change the uuid value of your ubuntu root-partition. You can get the uuid values of all partitions with 'sudo blkid' . If the value isn't the same as shown in your kernel line then edit your /boot/grub/menu.lst and replace it with the correct one. (For that you'll have to know on which parition you installed ubuntu on. like /dev/sdb1 - the first partition of your second scsi/sata drive)

Hope that helps.

Can you help with this problem?
