Here is the result of boot-repair: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/w6yWm2NNQ6/

boot-repair-4ppa2081 [20240905_1057]

============================= Boot Repair Summary ==============================

Recommended repair: ____________________________________________________________

The default repair of the Boot-Repair utility will reinstall the grub2 of sda1 into the MBR of sda. Grub-efi will not be selected by default because no ESP detected. Additional repair will be performed: unhide-bootmenu-10s

======================= Reinstall the grub2 of /dev/sda1 =======================

chroot /mnt/boot-sav/sda1 grub-install --version grub-install (GRUB) 2.12-1ubuntu7

==> Reinstall the GRUB of /dev/sda1 into the MBR of /dev/sda

chroot /mnt/boot-sav/sda1 grub-install /dev/sda Installing for i386-pc platform. Installation finished. No error reported.

Unhide GRUB boot menu in sda1/boot/grub/grub.cfg

Boot successfully repaired.

You can now reboot your computer.

The boot files of [sda1 (end>100GB)] are far from the start of the disk. Your BIOS may not detect them. You may want to retry after creating a /boot partition (EXT4, >200MB, start of the disk). This can be performed via tools such as gParted. Then select this partition via the [Separate /boot partition:] option of [Boot Repair]. (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootPartition)

============================ Boot Info After Repair ============================

=> Grub2 (v2.00) is installed in the MBR of /dev/sda and looks at sector 1 of the same hard drive for core.img. core.img is at this location and looks for (,msdos1)/boot/grub. It also embeds following components:

    From the result of the second boot-repair is attached to the comment:

    Script /boot/grub/grub.cfg.new contains no commands and will do nothing Syntax errors are detected in generated GRUB config file. Ensure that there are no errors in /etc/default/grub and /etc/grub.d/* files or please file a bug report with /boot/grub/grub.cfg.new file attached.

    To solve this problem:

    1. replace /etc/default/grub and /etc/grub.d/* files with the same files from the Ubuntu 24.04 ISO file; mount the ISO file, open /casper directory, mount the minimal.squashfs, and copy /etc/default/grub and /etc/grub.d/* files from mounted minimal.squashfs to your Ubuntu partition (dev/sda1).

    2. Remove /boot/grub/grub.cfg.new file, make the empty /boot/grub/grub.cfg file, and add these lines to it:

    set default=0
set timeout=10
menuentry 'Ubuntu' --class ubuntu {
  insmod part_msdos
  insmod ext2
  set root='hd0,msdos1'
  linux   /boot/vmlinuz-6.8.0-41-generic root=/dev/sda1 ro  
  initrd  /boot/initrd.img-6.8.0-41-generic
}
menuentry 'Ubuntu old kernel' --class ubuntu {
  insmod part_msdos
  insmod ext2
  set root='hd0,msdos1'
  linux   boot/vmlinuz-5.15.0-119-generic root=/dev/sda1 ro  
  initrd  boot/initrd.img-5.15.0-119-generic 
}
    1. Save the file, reboot with Ubuntu, and update-grub, or use boot-repair again.
