<div dir="ltr">What's your partitioning like? You said you restored the partition from clonezilla, so I'm guessing the part of grub placed in the MBR was corrupted/bugged/etc. If that was the case, even a restored partition wouldn't fix it, but reinstalling would.<div>

anyone have any insight into grub-rescue??<br>
well I had an interesting evening yesterday.. I spent most of the
day trying to do an upgrade to (Debian) jessie from wheezy. after
all was said & done & I rebooted, I got a black screen.
tried the rescue mode, same thing. So I tried to restore using my
clonezilla backup. after restoring the partition & rebooting I
got an error and it dropped me to grub-rescue prompt, with an error
like: <span style="text-indent:0px;letter-spacing:normal;font-variant:normal;text-align:left;font-style:normal;display:inline!important;font-weight:normal;float:none;line-height:18.200000762939453px;color:rgb(51,51,51);text-transform:none;font-size:14px;white-space:normal;font-family:UbuntuRegular,Ubuntu,'Bitstream Vera Sans','DejaVu Sans',Tahoma,sans-serif;word-spacing:0px">error: file '/boot/grub/i386-pc/normal.mpp' not
found grub rescue></span>. No help, "?" all I could do was ls.
Not having a computer nearby to google, I just re-installed wheezy.
I have linux installed on multiple partitions, on both of my
internal drives, and also Windows 7.<br>
I have restored before using clonezilla, so I'm not exactly sure
what I did different this time, or how to get it booted..<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>
