I install Ubuntu Server 16.04 on a SATA3 - 750 GB, but I hadn't success in the first try. After booting with the USB, Grub2's console was loaded and I had to load manually the Ubuntu. (I also have another HD with Xubuntu installed)



To load the Ubuntu Server I did:



grub> set root=(hd1,msdos5)
grub> linux /install/vmlinuz
grub> initrd /install/initrd.gz
grub> boot


It worked and I was able to install the Ubuntu, but after select the option at grub I got frozen in a black screen with a similar message:



sdb1: mount, block XXXXXXX


What I have done to solve the problem:



  • Check for consistency on the HD, no error found.

  • When frozen in black scream, Ctrl+Alt+Del restart the system showing Ubuntu image before closing.

  • I was able to load and use the OS in recovery mode.

  • In recovery I execute all the options of update, check filesystem and others that work fine.

  • The grub master was installed in my Xubuntu HD, so the config files for grub are saved there.

Some observations that I found when searching for solutions:



  • I read that sdb1 can be the cause for not loading the OS.


  • That I should specify the location of the root filesystem when loading the OS with grub, otherwise it could get kernel panic. The command should be:



    grub> linux /install/vmlinuz root=/dev/sda1



I believe the problem is simple, the OS is not able to find the right file to start.



I need ideas to solve this problem.



Thanks in advance!
