GRUB Issue

[Guest]

When I install Endian Firewall (happens with both 2.1.2 and 2.2 beta) and reboot, it posts fine and all that, but as soon as it goes to boot from the hard drive it just says "GRUB" and then stops. Does anyone have any ideas? This is running on an old P3 I had lying around.

I have the exact same problem, I've tried both ISOs, and I even thought it was a bad CD...and tried another,

Can someone please shed some light on this matter??

Has to be local, I installed both day before yesterday and had no problems.

Now I have tried it on a different harddrive and still get the same results...

I even tried what I have seen in a troubleshooting site, about the fact that

endian needs an enabled serial port, went into Bios, and made sure that at least

one serial was enabled....

Any other ideas??

Same here.

I tried EFW-COMMUNITY-2.2-beta2-200712281931.iso on a Intel PIII. I encounter no problem while installation but when it should boot the firewall from harddisk it says only "GRUB" and is dead. I have not tried any other version - but the system should be fine: i had a running Windows 2003 Server on before i tried Endian.

Any suggestions?

Funny story. Yesterday i tried to install Endian for about 4 hours with the above stated result. After that i installed the free version of Collax firewall which install and boot on the first try. Today i tried to install the 30-days test version of Astaro FW and and it fails. When i try to boot it it says "GRUB GRUB GRUB GRUB ... " for ever. Finally i gave EFW Community 2.2 beta 2 a another try and it runs.

I have no idea what the problem was. Now it runs fine and boots all the time.

This same problem.

IBM Intellistation 6233-MPG (Xeon 2,4GHz, 1GB RIMM, SCSI 18GB).

EFW version 2.1.2 and 2.2 beta2

No problem on IBM Netfinity 3000, 5500 and 7100

Any ideas?

Try fdisk /mbr from DOS.

I had this problem also.

I changed the port speed in /boot/grub/grub.conf from 38400 (which is what the standard installation uses) to 9600 and the problem went away.

Sorry - maybe it's a bit late!

Well guys, I had the same problem with my P III, I tried lot times install the Endian Firewall Community 2.1.2, always the same problem, after the installation reboot, this screen appears "Grub" , anyone have any idea to troubleshoot this problem ?

I had the exact same issue on 2 different embedded systems - a Intel Atom based SBC as well as a VIA SBC.
If your system wont boot after install and it hangs where GRUB begins - it has to do with the serial output.
I tried editing the grub.conf but could not get it to work at all.
I simply re-installed, and during install where it asks you if you want to enable serial output I said NO and this time it works perfect; just no serial out

there really has to be a better solution than to reinstall.
Anyone else had a go ?

okay i tried reinstalling btw, guess what, no difference; and yes i didnt enable serial support. Unfortunately still no joy
