[SOLVED] Grub Error 17 and other not so fun stuff
Booted today and greeted by grub error 17.
I booted from Arch Live CD
fdisk -l
looks ok
fdisk /dev/sdb
x,f,w nothing done, proper order
ok, let's chroot my install and install grub
mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt
unknown filesystem type, doh
mount -t ext4 /dev/sdb1 /mnt
nope
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdb1,
missing codepage or helper program, or other error
(aren't you trying to mount an extended partition,
instead of some logical partition inside?)
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail
dmesg | tail
attempt to access beyond end of device
sdb1: rw=0, want=4, limit=2
EXT4-fs: unable to read superblock
attempt to access beyond end of device
sdb1: rw=0, want=4, limit=2
EXT4-fs: unable to read superblock
time to fsck ?

I fixed it thanks to testdisk.
When I initially set this install of Arch up I used a whole disk in 2 partitions: / and swap. A grub error 17 led me to believe the partition table was fuxored. Fdisk did not fix the partition table but it was reporting the root partition as extended, which would not boot and is NOT how I set the system up. If had been up for about 10 months and working fine. I was able to use testdisk in a livecd session to both backup my home and etc directories and fix the partition table.
I'm marking this issue fixed. But I'm still confused as to what the hell happened. Unclean shutdown?
I'm getting contantly ERROR 17...
I dunno how to fix, I simply reboot some times and it desapears..
If someone could give me a clue..
Thx guyz!

[SOLVED] GRUB: Error 15: File not found
I've used the beginners guide to install Arch on my laptop and everything went smooth untill I rebooted and ended up with GRUB error 15. I've seen some other people having trouble with this one but neither of the solutions that worked (or didn't work) for them have worked out for me. I will try to provide you with as much information as possible:
I get to the GRUB menu and get the error after choosing 'Arch Linux' from it.
menu.lst
title Arch Linux
root (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz26 root=/dev/disk/by-uuid/0b899428... ro vga=773
initrd /kernel26.img
The only thing I've changed in menu.lst is that I've added vga=773. I left out the rest of the UUID because I'm writing it of my laptop beside me.
fdisk -l

/dev/sda3: UUID="0b899428-..." TYPE="jfs"
/dev/sda4: UUID="3b33ca9f-..." TYPE="jfs"
I've also tried poking around in the GRUB console:
grub> root (hd0,0)
Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83
grub> setup (hd0)
Checking if "/boot/grub/stage1" exists... no
Checking if "/grub/stage1" exists... yes
Checking if "/grub/stage2" exists... yes
Checking if "/grub/e2fs_stage1_5" exists... yes
Running "embed /grub/e2fs_stage1_5 (hd0)"... failed (this is not fatal)
Running "embed /grub/e2fs_stage1_5 (hd0,0)"... failed (this is not fatal)
Running "install /grub/stage1 (hd0) grub/stage2 p /grub/menu.lst "... succeeded
Done.
Any help would be much appreciated and I'll gladly provide you guys with any other information if necessary.
EDIT: Solved through re-installing.
Last edited by zulustar (2009-09-13 20:20:57)I moved the boot parition to hdd sda, but doing so I had to reinstall everything, and it seemed to fix it. I also found that one of the sata cables had been knocked out, but I don't think that was the orginal fault.

I wonder why you have "default 1". If you want to boot Archlinux (above) as default you should use "default 0", or has something changed lately?
Also:
root=/dev/disk/by-uuid/blah(aka sda1)
that doesn't seem to be very valid. You need to fill it in.
/edit
Ofcourse you used blah(aka sda1) just here, not in the real file... sorry for the unhelpfull post
The default was a typo, as I could not boot into anything except the Arch CD I had to type it in manually. Although thanks for the reply anyways.

Hello fumbles, As you have a separate /boot partition, the grub entry is not correct, I believe. if should be /boot/vmlinuz For more help this link may also help you.
http://www.experts-exchange.com/Operati … 72531.html
This is simply not true. The reverse however is. I did NOT have a seperate boot parition, ie boot was just in the root partition then yes I would have to add /boot to the kernel and initrd lines.

[SOLVED] Upgrade hard drive: Grub error 22: Partition not found
I'm trying to move to a different hard drive. I booted a live cd, created the partitions, formatted, and used "cp -a" to copy all the files over. I also updated the fstab on the new drive, and now I would expect everything to work. However, I can't get past grub.
When I boot up, I get "grub error 22: partition not found".
Here is my setup ("Arch Linux - SSD" is the entry not working):
menu.lst:

Another note, is that grub-install takes a very long time to run after I update the menu.lst (5+ minutes), but the update does work without errors, and the new items do appear.
Any help would be appreciated, I'm wondering if I've just been looking at it too long...
Last edited by zhobbs (2011-05-11 19:40:04)I solved this by using the uuid instead of the root:
# (0) Arch Linux
title Arch Linux - SSD
uuid 128a4425-c9ae-433f-b604-5488d55a14b3
kernel /boot/vmlinuz26 root=/dev/sdb3 ro vga=775
initrd /boot/kernel26.img
Also, I got "grub-install" to run much faster by removing the fd0 from the device map. -
Please can someone help me to solve the error message "Could not activate cellular data network: PDP authentication failure"when using 3G or GPRS on safari with an iphone 4GS and latest software updates. I have tried resetting the network and phone settings. I have restored the factory settings on itunes and still the problem persists.
All iPhones sold in Japan are sold carrier locked and cannot be officially unlocked by the carrier. If you unlocked it, it was by unauthorized means (hacked), and support cannot be given to you in this forum.
Hacked iPhones are subject to countermeasures by Apple, particularly when updating the firmware. It is likely permanently re-locked or permanently disabled.

Hi, I set up my new iPhone S4 with iclouds. So the data of my old S3 should move to the S4. However, some applications could not be loaded on the S04. Now some apps are loaded and others not . How can I progress?
Thanks. I can change the forwarding settings in Gmail to be either POP or IMAP. That is quite simple. I just looked at those settings on the Gmail server and, to my surprise, both are enabled. In order for outlook client on my computer to receive IMAP emails I have to change the email account settings in my current outlook from POP to IMAP. I don't need to be using the Exchange version of Outlook to receive IMAP. I guess I'll do a little research tomorrow on Exchange so i can figure out what, if anything, it might do for me.
I glanced at the link you sent me and it looks like it might be very helpful - another project for tomorrow.
BTW: I hit "This Solved my Question" by accident. I meant only to "like' your response so you would get some benefit from the help you've given me so far. I hope I haven't discouraged others from taking a shot at helping me. I suspect there is more than one way to approach this and, as you know, my problem isn't really solved until I have what I need all set up and running smoothly. -
Hi. I need help regarding facebook for blackberry. I cannot post any status update, i keep on receiving an error prompt "the facebook server has returned an unknown error and is not able to fulfill your request. (2001)". it has been like this for the past 3 days. I already did the hard reboot many times, re-send service book though i do'nt think it's needed, and tried uninstalling and reinstalling the facebook application too but still getting the same error everytime i try to post a status update. I can comment to messages on my wall and other profiles, the news feed is updating in time too, i can also log-in and out to facebook with no problem, as well as other applications on my phone like foursquare, BBm, ubersocial, BB protect, BB app world, etc, are all working perfectly fine. And now I don't know what seems to be the problem.
I've already contacted my network provider and told me that the error i'm getting is beyond their scope.
Is anybody having the same problem as mine?
Can someone in BB support team help me regarding this issue and tell me what should I do?
Thank you in advance.I got the same issue !! Since I've updated my Facebook app 2 or 3 week ago !
I can not update my status and check-in ! It gives me "the facebook server has returned an unknown error and is not able to fulfill your request. (2001) "
I can upload photo, put comment on people, like people status/picture. The news feed update perfectly !
I also tryied to uninstall reinstall the app, reboot etc etc ! I still can't update my status !!!! I've installed 3.0.0.17 this morning and the issue is still there...
I've remarked one thing... On my facebook under "privacy setting/the Apps, Games and Websites" I used to have a "blackberry app" installed. It's not there anymore and I didn't remove it.
I don't know how to reinstall it... -
Hello, how are you? On September 13 I bought an iPad and in October bought a game on the app store problem is that when informed the card number dropped normally, but then went on to ask for a new form of payment because one had given any errors, and so not lowered any other game and not upgraded the already downloaded. I do not know what exactly I have to do, because if informed a new payment method continues with the same problem, checked the card bill and really had given an error, because there was no billed the game. I ask you to verify what happened and explain to me what I need to do, because my single card is Visa's and do not intend to return others to use the services of the App Store.
Thank you for understanding.I think you need the app store support. http://www.apple.com/support/mac/app-store/contact/ Go there and use one of the methods to contact them about your issue and they should be able to help you out.
This forum isn't checked by Apple employees but is for users to help each other out.

Hi
I have developed the Proxy to SOAP scenario and it used to work normally as designed, But suddenly it started giving the System error and restart not possible,
I see the following error in the Runtime work bench on the Receiver CC
SOAP: response message contains an error XIAdapter/HTTP/ADAPTER.HTTP_EXCEPTION - HTTP 500 Internal Server Error
Can anyone let me know what the error is
Thanks

If this channel was in working state earlier, then this error would mean that the receiver webserver hosting the webservice has some problem. You may contact the receiver system for checking out if they have problem at their end and if they agree resend the messages and it should pass through.
It may be problem with certificates even.
