I'm experiencing exactly the same behaviour. When the BIOS yields control to GRUB this is output to screen: > GRUB loading. > Welcome to GRUB! > > error: the symbol `grub_xputs' not found. > Entering resuce mode... > grub rescue> _ Perhaps worth noting is that I've got multiple SATA disks (5) in this system. During installation it proposed to do grub-install to *both* /dev/sdb *and* /dev/sdc, which I declined, the latter being part of a RAID 10 pool, and only the former being the bootdisk. As of this moment I'm burning a livedvd to try and fix this from a chroot. -- Met vriendelijke groet, With kind regards, Giel van Schijndel
