Hi everybody.
After every update, that somehow update’s grub, I’ve got not working system, because I cannot boot into the OS.
Currently I’m solving this by a rescue CD: mounting my disks there, after that doing grub2-mkconfig and grub2-install /dev/sda.
What additional information should I provide?
Is there any solution to my problem?
Please post content of
/boot/grub2/device.map
and report (or show photo) of the BIOS settings re. booting/disk order etc.
I’d also like to see the output, between CODE tags, of
fdisk -l
and
cat /etc/fstab

Hi,
I had the same problem with an ASUS UX31A (Core i5). Notably, this problem occured only on the notebook of my wife. I have also an ASUS UX31A (but with Core i7 instead of Core i5). Here, I had no problem with the grub update.
My solution: I reinstalled the system and blocked the grub update in YAST.

I don’t think that it is a solution, besides I can’t reinstall the system, because it’s my work computer, and I don’t have time for it right now.
For now, I’m just not updating the system, till solution is found.
