I just upgraded a cloud server to 14.04 and grub2 going to a grub rescue prompt on boot.
I have attempted to follow the instructions here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/Troubleshooting
But the system will not boot.
I can do a ls / and it displays the /boot directory. The root partition appears to be set to the correct drive. When I do a insmod normal it gives me error: file not found
I am not even seeing a linux.mod or normal.mod files in my grub directory. I am thinking that the grub install may have failed.
What steps would be recommended to rescue this server? Again this is on a vmware esx system so booting from a cd is going to be quite complicated. What files should I have in the grub and boot folder? What insmod command should I be running to set the kernel and boot commands?
