I am using grub in Ubuntu because when I install grub in CRUX, I reboot to a grub rescue prompt and not a grub menu. It is very inconvenient. The UUID in stab just takes the place of where you put /dev/sdb, etc. Does that help clear it up? Thanks

How or more importantly why are you using Ubuntu's grub2 in crux?

Is it an EFI system?  I'm not sure what you mean by UUID in the context of fstab, I almost always have something like:

/dev/sdb1   /    ext4   defaults,noatime(or whatever)   0   1

I wouldn't recommend using utilities for a different distrobution, crux comes with grub2.

I am trying to boot from the Grub that comes standard with an Ubuntu installation. I am installing on bare metal. I did compile my root filesystem into the kernel. I am using ext4. I did setup fstab with the uuid of the CRUX partition. Sorry for the confusion.

I have a few questions, but first, what is "ubuntu grub2"?  Are you installing on a VM or bare metal?

Did you compile your root file system into your kernel?  What file system are you using on your root file system?  Did you set up fstab?

Everytime I try to boot CRUX from Ubuntu's Grub2 it fails with a kernel panic.

It gives me the error message, " unable to mount root filesystem on unknown block (0,0)".

Can someone help me with this? Thanks!
