Trisquel 9.0.1 mini 32 bit does not reboot

Thank you Andyprough.
I followed your procedure, the "boot" flag is selected in Gparted, but the problem remains the same, Trisquel mini 9 (32 bit) does not reboot.

I tried even so:
grub rescue> ls
(hd0) (hd0,msdos1)
grub rescue> (hd0,msdos1)/
./../ lost+found/ home/ swapfile etc/ media/ bin/ var/ boot/ dev/ lib/ mnt/ opt/ proc/ root/ run/ sbin/ srv/ sys/ tmp/ usr/ initrd.gz initrd.img vmlinuz cdrom/ initrd.img.old
grub rescue>_
grub rescue> set prefix=(hd0,msdos1)/boot/grub
grub rescue> set root=(hd0,msdos1)
grub rescus> insmod normal
error: attempt to read or write outside of disck 'hd0'

Exactly as before. How to continue? What have I to do?

Oh really? I wonder what would happen if you skipped the 'ls /boot' step but did all the other steps?

Well, here's Magic Banana's chroot procedure for reinstalling grub[1], if that's the route you want to take.

$ sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt
$ for i in /dev /dev/pts /proc /sys /run; do sudo mount -B $i /mnt$i; done
$ sudo chroot /mnt
# grub-install /dev/sda
# update-grub

Personally I would just reinstall the entire distro, since it's a new install and you wouldn't be losing data. Clearly something went wrong with the install. Why not just start fresh and see if you avoid the problem next time? Give that partition a good formatting first.

I too have a sata drive that is listed as hd and not sd in grub. I don't think that's the problem.

Hello, Loldier
I have installed on the HP510 notebook a 64GB PATA SSD.

I found this on the net. It's probably a combination of things, and reinstalling the GRUB won't make a difference under these circumstances. The solution would be to create a separate partition for /boot.

----------------------

Error: attempt to read or write outside of disk 'hd0'

So, as a result of the confluence of a number of circumstances:

--BIOS is used (not EFI)
--large disk size
--poor BIOS design
--folder /boot is written too far from the beginning of the disk

...can get the error:

Error: attempt to read or write outside of disk 'hd0'

From that facts the conclusions follow:

--When installing on the same disk, the error may or may not occur (depending on the location of the /boot folder on the disk)

--Reinstalling GRUB, which is advised on some websites, may or may not help - again, depending on where the /boot folder is overwritten

--If your computer supports EFI, then you will never encounter this error

--The problem disk may well boot on another computer (there are nuances - on another computer there may be EFI or also poorly designed BIOS)

And the most important conclusion:

--If the /boot folder is written to a separate partition and the partition is located at the beginning of the disk, then this will almost certainly solve the problem.
