unable to boot from hard drive after upgrade to 12.04. error: symbol 'grub_xpuls' not found

  • 772

I just upgraded from Lucid to 12.04, and now I can't boot from my hard drive, but get the following error message:

the symbol 'grub-xpuls' not found

...and then it wants me to do something to grub rescue, and me being no expert, I have no idea what that might be.

Help please? I wish I could be more specific and less of a noob, but sadly...

grub2 installation re-installation 12.04

  1. Why not just re-install grub or get grub-update. JUst try a live CD and go to terminal and eneter following to update grub:

    Mount the partition containing your Linux: mount $partition /mnt/sda2
Reinstall grub: grub-install --root-directory=/mnt/sda2 $device
Backup the Grub: cd /boot/grub ; cp grub.cfg grub.cfg#1 ; cp menu.lst menu.lst#1 //if it's not the live cd boot directory
Update the grub: sudo update-grub

    and you are done.
