I have been getting grub and initramfs errors at boot on a new install of debian.I have tried to figure out the issues for 2 weeks now and I need help.
Debian does boot but only have 8 to 15 rests,I don't have any other hdds plugged in so its not a multi boot issue.
The errors I get are basically
1. grub cant find hd0
2. the file system is unknown
3. cant load initram
4. disk is out of partition.
5. grub or
when I dont get grub errors I get initramfs cant read file and then kernel panic.
list of things I have tried
1 updating grub,
2 purging/reinstalling grub2
3 grub rescue commands.
4 reinstalling initrd and linux img from live disk
The only thing I have not done is make changes to the etc/default/grub.
I tried different burning sofware dvd/cds at lowest write speed, usb, sata2 and ide hdds and redownloaded debian iso.
I don't feel like giving up just yet so this is the 5th reinstall,it is clean and I have not messed with it.
