Questions tagged [grub]

GENERAL GRUB SUPPORT IS OFF-TOPIC. Support questions may be asked on https://superuser.com. GRUB, the GNU GRand Unified Bootloader, is a boot loader used on x86 systems, typically used to boot Linux. Questions about using or configuring GRUB are rarely on-topic for Stack Overflow outside of unusual circumstances.

GRUB is the reference implementation of the Multiboot Specification, which provides a user the choice to boot one of multiple operating systems installed on a computer or select a specific kernel configuration available on a particular operating system's partitions.

As GRUB is not a tool specifically used for software development, questions about it will typically be considered off-topic on Stack Overflow unless it is being used in a particularly unusual manner, e.g. if you are developing custom modules for GRUB, or if you have developed your own operating system kernel.

If you are having a problem with using or configuring GRUB on your computer, please consider asking your question on SuperUser.com, the Stack Exchange site for computer enthusiasts and power users, or on a site specific to the Linux distribution you are using, such as the Ask Ubuntu Stack Exchange or UNIX & Linux Stack Exchange.
