So I’m trying to restore my triple boot Macbook Pro to a new hard drive, and when I restored Ubuntu partition with Clonezilla, I can’b boot it from rEFIt. At first I thought it’s because I hadn’t restored the MBR, while it turned out that I don’t really need MBR info ’cause I’d installed Grub2 to the PBR of my Ubuntu Partition. So I just reinstalled Grub2 from the live CD and now I can boot Ubuntu on my new HDD. Here is how to install grub2 from live CD:
Open up Terminal when the live CD is started.
Then type the following commands:
sudo mount /dev/sda4 /mntsudo grub-install –root-directory=/mnt /dev/sda4
/dev/sda4 is my Ubuntu partition. If you want to install Grub2 to MBR, you can just use /dev/sda instead of /dev/sdax.
If it won’t work, then try adding “–force” option in the “grub-install” command. See if you get a message that “Installation finished”. If it says so, then you should be good to go. Reboot you MBP, and choose Ubuntu icon, you should now see the grub menu.
，明天的希望，让我们忘了今天的痛苦
