MythBuntu installs but doesn't install grub correctly

Question

I've installed Mythbuntu on my computer but it won't boot anymore, the only thing it does is write:

Grub stage 1.5

Error 15

file not found...

When I load it with a live-cd and search, there is no file /boot/grub/ and when I log into the grub console (sudo grub) and try to fix it :

root (hd0,5)
setup (hd0)

It tells me that the files

/boot/grub/ /grub/

are not found. (Ps: partition 6 is the good one but I've tried them all up and none is working)

Answer 1

Try with the command:

find /boot/grub/stage1

to see if you can find it and use

root (hd?,?) setup (hd?)

where ? is the data that find command retrieve

If it doesn´t works, you can try with your installation cd, open a shell a use:

linux rescue

and introduce the following commands

chroot /mnt/sysimage
grub-install --recheck /dev/hda
exit
exit

Answer 2

Make sure you are setting the correct partition for grub s config file.

I had this error once and ended up being that I had set 5 instead of 6 and I couldn't spot the error right away because of course, its sda6, so its (hd1,6)!. As I had being making a lot of other config edits (it was an Arch install), I missed it.

_{I should have put (hd1,5)}

Answer 3

It seems like I can't make it work, so I've installed an other distro and now it works, thanks for all you help.
