After selecting Linux Lite in grub menu.... Welcome to emergency mode!

[hughparker1]

Hi Hughparker1,

Yes, I've had this problem sometimes with a either Windows / LL dual boot or a Linux only dual or multiple boot setup, on an MBR disk.
Like you LL sometimes needed to be 'reset' so that it was again 'in charge' of the grub list, though unlike you I didn't have the 'Welcome to emergency mode' message.

Like you I ran the first two lines of code you have shown, but left out the 'umount' line, and that seemed to work.
Maybe Hugh try again, but without unmounting /dev/sda8. Maybe worth a try...
Cheers
Mike

Thanks for reply. I tried as you suggested but still same error message.

I noticed the GRUB_TIMEOUT during boot is now 30 seconds while my original timeout was 10 seconds, so although my grub menu looks exactly the same as before the Windows Anniversary Update (all my other OS are listed in the correct order) the system doesn't seem to be using my GRUB_TIMEOUT value from /etc/default/grub

After booting with LL3 Live USB, I checked my grub in my LINUX-LITE partition using command....

Code:

$ sudo nano /media/linux/LINUX-LITE/etc/default/grub

and it shows GRUB_DEFAULT=4 and GRUB_TIMEOUT=10

Code:

GRUB_DEFAULT=4
#GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0
GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_QUIET=true
GRUB_TIMEOUT=10
GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR=`lsb_release -d 2> /dev/null || echo Debian`
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=""

... but when I boot my laptop it does show GRUB_DEFAULT=4 which is correct, but the GRUB_TIMEOUT is 30 secs which is not the value in my grub. Very strange.

Any advice would be appreciated
