Thread: Problem with bootloader after install

-

hi all,

i've tried several times today install 12.10 server (x64) on spare box using both default , expert install, seem run against same problem.

when reboot after completing install error on booting "reboot , select proper boot device". know isn't physical issue hdd i've used installation media mount filesystems , can indeed see files on different partitions.

seems though grub/efi loader installing wrong disk/partition. i'm installing usb using unetbootin , looks efi partition being written usb (/dev/sdb) instead of hdd (/dev/sda).

how can sort out bootloader? i'm not familiar efi, other (older) linux installs have used standard grub2, no efi.

thanks.

welcome forums.

not know servers, 1 of differences uefi grub installed. bios/mbr install mbr, never partition. uefi grub installed efi partition should sda1. have boot uefi/bios , should boot ok.

if installing server version not have livecd. may have livecd make repairs. or download full boot-repair cd.

post link bootinfo report.

boot repair -also handles lvm, gpt, separate /boot , uefi dual boot.:
