Title: GRUB Issue Post by: uberben on Sunday 23 December 2007, 02:55:02 pm 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.
Title: Re: GRUB Issue Post by: shooter on Sunday 30 December 2007, 06:48:12 am 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?? Title: Re: GRUB Issue Post by: Bhai on Monday 31 December 2007, 06:40:19 am Has to be local, I installed both day before yesterday and had no problems.
Title: Re: GRUB Issue Post by: shooter on Monday 31 December 2007, 12:52:33 pm 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?? Title: Re: GRUB Issue Post by: Tropper on Saturday 26 January 2008, 07:56:01 am 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. Title: Re: GRUB Issue Post by: Yeti on Saturday 26 January 2008, 07:07:54 pm 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? Title: Re: GRUB Issue Post by: devorem on Saturday 02 February 2008, 05:58:53 am Try fdisk /mbr from DOS.
Title: Re: GRUB Issue Post by: sunbeamalpine on Sunday 11 May 2008, 07:54:26 am 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! Title: Re: GRUB Issue Post by: Cidaum on Friday 27 June 2008, 07:36:51 am 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 ?
Title: Re: GRUB Issue Post by: riaanjvr on Thursday 30 August 2012, 09:01:16 pm 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 Title: Re: GRUB Issue Post by: satish on Sunday 14 October 2012, 05:12:37 am there really has to be a better solution than to reinstall.
Anyone else had a go ? Title: Re: GRUB Issue Post by: satish on Monday 15 October 2012, 03:26:06 pm okay i tried reinstalling btw, guess what, no difference; and yes i didnt enable serial support. Unfortunately still no joy :(
