Good Day To You All,
I have installed Ubuntu 9.04 on a Laptop running Vista Business.
When I try to start my little machine,
GRUB keeps telling me there is an error:
Either: Error 25, Error 21, or Error 5.
Once in a while, it is 'Error 22'.
And then there is no way to go any further:
End of the line. The 'Error' crashes me into being nothing.
Why do I get these 'Error Messages'
when I try to boot up my Laptop ?
I have tried to boot up in many
different 'dimensions':
With or without the mouse connected,
with or without my external hard-drive connected,
with or without my girlfriend being in the bath tub or not,
etc.
and all the other permutations that R would allow me to do...
if I had access to it.
Any and all cues would be greatly appreciated,
Many Thanks,
Len

p.s. Ubuntu 9.04 is giving me problems
I never had with Ubuntu 8.04

Hi, As Uwe said, this is not really the place to get support for Ubuntu. They have excellent forums. But the problem seems to be that GRUB was not correctly installed. Run an ubuntu live cd and reinstall GRUB from that. The command might be grub-install, but i'm not sure.... cheers, Paul Len Vir schreef:> Good Day To You All, > > I have installed Ubuntu 9.04 on a Laptop running Vista Business. > > When I try to start my little machine, > GRUB keeps telling me there is an error: > > Either: Error 25, Error 21, or Error 5. > Once in a while, it is 'Error 22'. > > And then there is no way to go any further: > End of the line.

Hi Len, I have only just installed Ubuntu 9.04 the other day on my PC (1 HDD, partitioned with Windows Vista Premium) and experienced the Error 22. This would stop me from booting into either Windows or Ubuntu and just be a blank screen with the error message, no way to move forward. I am completely new to Linux, but one suggestion in the Ubuntu help forum was to reinstall Ubuntu from the Live CD. I did this (changing the BIOS to boot from the DVD drive first) and it corrected the GRUB error and I am now able to boot into either Operating System. I did not experience the other error numbers you mentioned so am not sure if this will help in your situation. My next challenge is working out how to install R on Ubuntu (will try this weekend)!
