Summary:

  1. I keep getting the error: no such device grub rescue, after installing 12.04 (erasing an old 12.04 installation beforehand, but using the old /home mount, from a different HDD)

  2. I have two HDD 80 GB (used for /) and 250 GB (used for /home)

  3. I have tried Boot error > no such device: grub rescue and also using live cd then installing boot-repair, none of them solves the problem.

  4. Details from boot-repair: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/1155292/

Question:

  1. I have tried a fresh install several time, and during these times, the two HDD mounted differently. I mean sometimes the 80 GB mounted as sda, sometimes as sdb. is this normal?

  2. Do you good guys at the Ask Ubuntu have any other way?

  1. Yes this is normal. This random change happens with some computers.

  2. Try inverting the 2 hard disks in the BIOS boot order.

  • I think the problem is on the 80gigs HDD. I used the 250 gigs HDD instead and it works like a charm. thanx. – simonsays Aug 22 '12 at 02:48
