I just upgraded a cloud server to 14.04 and grub2 going to a grub rescue prompt on boot.

I have attempted to follow the instructions here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/Troubleshooting

But the system will not boot.

I can do a ls / and it displays the /boot directory. The root partition appears to be set to the correct drive. When I do a insmod normal it gives me error: file not found

I am not even seeing a linux.mod or normal.mod files in my grub directory. I am thinking that the grub install may have failed.

What steps would be recommended to rescue this server? Again this is on a vmware esx system so booting from a cd is going to be quite complicated. What files should I have in the grub and boot folder? What insmod command should I be running to set the kernel and boot commands?

  • This is the same problem, but this is a cloud server, so booting from a cd is rather tricky. I am looking for which steps to go through to make grab functional from the rescue prompt. – chrislovecnm May 27 '14 at 03:19
  • If the files aren't there, then they aren't there... you will have to boot from something else. – psusi May 27 '14 at 03:23
  • After jumping through many evil hoops I got a rescue cd working in the cloud and fixed it – chrislovecnm May 28 '14 at 00:50
