Hi all,
I am getting Error #14 from grub version 0.97 when trying to boot for the first time into a newly installed partition with Scientific Linux 6.7 and need help resolving the error.
The setup:
MacPro with 2 HDs
HD #1: ESP partition has rEFInd installed and running 2nd partition: Mac OSX 10.7.5 (lion) installed
HD #2: 1st partition: Centos 6.8 (uses grub version 0.97) filesystem = ext4 2nd partition: Debian 8.7 (uses grub 2.0.2 beta). filesystem = ext4 3rd partition: Scientific Linux 6.7 (uses grub version 0.97). filesystem = ext4
The grub.conf in the CentOS partition has the following entries:
title CentOS 6.8 (2.6.32-696.el6.x86_64) root (hd0,0) kernel /boot/vmlimuz-2.6.32-696.el6.x86_64 ro root=UUID=531c3b86-dc7e-4d14-9505-6df970dc8495 rd_NO_LUKS rd_NO_LVM LANG=en_US.UTF-8 rd_no_MD SYSFONT=latarcyrheb=sun16 crashkernel=128M KEYBOARDTYPE=pc KEYTABLE=us rd_NO_DM rhgb quiet initrd /boot/initramfs-2.6.32-696.el6.x86_64.img
title Debian 8.7 root (hd0,1) chainloader +1
title Scientific Linux 6.7 (Carbon) root(hd0,2) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32-573.el6.x86_64 ro root=UUID=af382492-c826-4cf8-b134-9456fe5c100c initrd /boot/initramfs-2.6.32-573.el6.x86_64.img chainloader +1
I can boot fine into the Mac OSX from rEFInd.
When I boot from rEFInd into the CentOS partition I get the Grub version 0.97 menu list with the 3 OSs listed above.
I can then boot fine into CentOS 6.8 or Debian 8.7 just fine.
I just added Scientific Linux 6.7 (SL) from a downloaded ISO image to the 3rd partition. SL installed fine. The installation itself was done using a PC (AMD64) running Windows 7 and the HD connected via USB and a mobile SATA dock.
But using the above grub config for SL I get Error #14.
If I comment-out the kernel and initrd lines in the SL entry I get Error #13.
I confirmed that the kernel and the initramfs files both are in /boot in SL.
I also checked the UUID for the 3rd partition with blkid and that is correct too.
If I replace the kernel line for SL with the same one in the SL parititon I still get Error #14. The only difference with the full CentOS and SL kernel entries are the UUIDs of the partition and the minor version # (696 vs 573).
I haven't seen anything specific to Error #14 in the blog entries I've seen.
Everything I've tried results in either Error #14 or 13.
I do think the SL partition will boot if given the correct grub conf to start with.
Any tips or ideas would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
