I just installed Linux Mint 20.3 Cinnamon 64 bit on a PC that previously had Debian on a single encrypted partition. I used the iso flashed to a USB stick for the install. I chose the option to erase the contents of the hard disk, and do a brand new install of Linux Mint.
After installing, I reboot and get the following message:
error: file '/boot/grub/i386-pc/normal.mod' not found.
Entering rescue mode...
Rebooting again made no difference. Re-installing Mint again made no difference.
Typing ls at the rescue console shows the following:
(hd0) (hd0,gpt3) (hd0,gpt2) (hd0,gtp1)
Typing ls (hd0,gpt3) shows that all the Mint directories are there (e.g. boot, media, home, cdrom, etc.). The other directories give "Filesystem unknown".
Following advice from another thread, I tried typing
set prefix=(hd0,gpt3)/boot/grub
followed by:
set root=(hd0,gpt3)
followed by:
insmod normal
This last command gave the message "error: file '/boot/grub/i386-pc/normal.mod' not found.
Does anyone know what is going on? I still can't even boot in Mint.
