Fresh Debian 7 (Wheezy) install: Booting after install, drops to a "grub rescue>" prompt
Most of the commands that should work in GRUB, don't.
There's no 'help', no 'quit' - and entering 'boot' fails with:
I've set the proper partition (using "set root=..." and "set prefix=..."), but without the command 'boot', I'm stuck.Unknown command 'boot'
[SOLUTION]
Since GRUB couldn't find its partition, it couldn't load any modules. Therefore, point "root" to the partition that contains your "/boot/grub" folder. In my case it was a SoftRAID:
Code: Select all
set root=(md/128)
Code: Select all
insmod linux grub help rescue
Now, type "normal" to return to the regular GRUB boot-prompt.error: no loaded kernel.
Select your desired kernel and boot
