Hi everyone, i'm trying to get linux on a laptop of mine and it gives me
a rescue shell everytime i start it up. I set the prefix and root to the
first partition on the first disk (where grub is installed) in the rescue
shell and "insmod normal" gives me "error: unknown filesystem". The
filesystem on it is fat32 so i know grub can access it but i have no idea
why it won't. Anyone have an idea on why it won't read it?

At this stage, GRUB can read a FAT filesystem only if the FAT driver
module was included in its core image by grub-install, either implicitly
if grub-install detected that /boot/grub is in a FAT filesystem or
explicitly with the --modules=fat option.

thank you, i'll make sure to include the module then

As I wrote, grub-install should take care of this automatically if /boot/grub is in a FAT filesystem. How do you install GRUB ?
