How to fix GRUB initramdisk
Revision as of 23:04, 18 November 2015 by 142.90.148.3 (talk)
When converting a physical live machine to vmware using vmware converter, there can be issues with booting due to how vmware recreates the initrd and grub.cfg. To fix this, do the following:
Boot the live CD and press option "E" to boot the / (root) parition
Once booted to a full OS, login to the OS as root and run the following in order:
update-initramfs -t -k all -u update-grub
This will update the initramfs as well as the grub.cfg file to match the new initrd. Reboot to confirm grub and booting is fixed.
