My computer has become quite strange the last days, last week grub stopped working and just halted at the grub prompt.
I can manually start the system by writing
insmod /boot/grub/linux.mod
linux /vmlinuz root=/dev/sda1 ro
initrd /initrd.img
boot
But if I type something like
cat /boot/grub/grub.cfg
I get a error:
error: out of disk
Does anybody know why this occurs?
Thanks Johan
Note:
I don't think that /boot/ is full, since it is part of / (5% used).
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on

Note:
The system is a Ubuntu 10.04 based system on a old HP laptop.
