Update to my problem.

I've wiped my SDHC card, reinstall linuxcoin final to it with latest unetbootin from this thread, wiped my hdd, booted up the USB linuxcoin final, updated & installed with following cmds

Code:
apt-get update
apt-get install linuxcoin-bugfix-020811 smartcoin bitcoin
apt-get install linuxcoin-installer
apt-get install zenity
apt-get install linuxcoin-bugfix-110811

Created 10 gig ext4 partition & a 1 gig swap partition, ran linuxcoin installer, selected sda1, installed.

Tried to boot the hdd up and still received the following error.

Code:
GRUB loading.
Welcome to GRUB!

error: symbol not found: 'grub_divmod64_full'
Entering rescue mode...
grub rescue>

No one else in this thread has ran into this problem?

Also, I tired that ubuntu guide purge reinstall grub, won't work from linuxcoin final usb[linuxcoin don't know what grug-update is or anything], I tried from my ubuntu live usb, i got the same error results but with a different type of name rather "grub_divmod64_full".

I've been pulling my hair out. Cheesy



You need to chroot the environment before running grub cmds. as root do the following while running from a live linuxcoin session.
 
Code:
mkdir myhdd
mount /dev/sda1 myhdd
mount -o bind /proc myhdd/proc
mount -o bind /sys myhdd/sys
mount -o bind /dev myhdd/dev
chroot myhdd

Now you can purge and reinstall grub. I would do the above then follow the ubuntu fix up guide. I don't know where this bug comes from I've tested the installer numerous times and always had success ?
