Hi altogether,

I´ve downloaded bootinfoscript from https://sourceforge.net/projects/bootinfoscript/ and now I want to run it on BodhiLinux in a VM.
Bodhi is version 5.1.0, 32 bit.

Here are the results:

          Boot Info Script 0.61      [1 April 2012]
============================= Boot Info Summary: ===============================

============================ Drive/Partition Info: =============================

no valid partition table found
"blkid" output: __________

Device UUID TYPE LABEL

/dev/vda1 32d9521a-c358-4f19-871d-4afc58266d43 ext4

================================ Mount points: =================================

Device Mount_Point Type Options

/dev/vda1 / ext4 (rw,relatime,errors=remount-ro,data=ordered)

========= Devices which don't seem to have a corresponding hard drive: =========

no block devices found

My question is: shouldn´t there be more infos? Or am I doing something wrong here?

As additional information, fdisk shows me the following. Not sure it helps.

sudo fdisk -l

Disk /dev/vda: 12 GiB, 12884901888 bytes, 25165824 sectors
Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes

I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes

Disk identifier: 0xa88d56b7

Device Boot Start End Sectors Size Id Type
/dev/vda1 * 2048 25163775 25161728 12G 83 Linux

Thanks for your help in advance.
Greetngs.

GRUB ISSUES while booting

Gert Hulselmans — Thu, 18 Oct 2012 08:47:28 -0000

The Grub legacy installation of /dev/sda is corrupt. This is the disk where you have Windows 7 installed. When you boot from the Windows 7 installation CD, you can let Windows restore the Windows MBR. You can also install testdisk and use the write MBR option to fix that problem. For booting RedHat (installed on /dev/sdd), go to the BIOS and change the hard drive order. On most recent BIOSes, you can also press a special key(e.g. F8, F12) to change the booting drive. Grub Legacy seems to be installed fine on /dev/sdd. Ask more specific help at RedHat.

Results problem with GRUB

It looks to me that grub2 look in partition 2 of /dev/sda for (,gpt2)/boot/grub. But this is a Microsoft Reserved Partition. Grub2 probably needs to find partition 2 of /dev/sdb instead. Ask in the Ubuntu forums for more help on how to fix this problem.
