| dougstew | Is there any one on here that really understands Grub. I have some questions. | 19:15 |
| dougstew | I guess the answer is no | 19:39 |
| johanbr | dougstew, what's your question? | 19:48 |
| dougstew | first a simple question: Using grub2 where is the list of kernels stored? | 19:50 |
| johanbr | it's not really stored, but it's built by a shell script in /etc/grub.d | 19:52 |
| dougstew | Ok there was one stord for grub1 wasn't there? | 19:53 |
| johanbr | yes | 19:54 |
| johanbr | what are you trying to do? | 19:56 |
| dougstew | Now for the real question ---- when I triple boot win. ubuntu9.04 and ubuntu10.04 --- and Ubuntu 10.04 being the last one to install --- After running and updating 10.04, I now login to 9.04 | 19:59 |
| dougstew | while running 9.04 it wants to update the software including | 19:59 |
| dougstew | the kernels | 19:59 |
| dougstew | what grub info will now be updated | 20:00 |
| dougstew | the grup on the master boot record will still be looking at the 10.04 partition | 20:01 |
| dougstew | johanbr: any ideas? | 20:05 |
| johanbr | oh | 20:06 |
| dougstew | I know that with grub1 I had it totally mixed up, I am afraid to try it again untill I am sure what it will do. | 20:07 |
| johanbr | I guess you could put the grub 1 for 9.04 somewhere else and have the grub2 chainload grub1 | 20:07 |
| dougstew | Are you saying that grub2 will not have a problem with two Ubuntus on two partitions? | 20:09 |
| johanbr | I don't think either grub has a problem with ubuntu on two partitions | 20:10 |
| johanbr | it's just that you have to tell them where the relevant grub is installed | 20:11 |
| dougstew | Well my experience is otherwise | 20:11 |
| dougstew | Ok I don't know what you mean by tell them | 20:13 |
| johanbr | configure the two grubs to tell them where they're installed | 20:14 |
| johanbr | but what was the problem you encountered? | 20:15 |
| johanbr | 9.04 wouldn't update the kernel list properly? | 20:15 |
| dougstew | Ok but you have only 1 MBR | 20:15 |
| johanbr | yes, but you can put one grub somewhere else | 20:16 |
| johanbr | and have it loaded from the "master" grub | 20:16 |
| dougstew | before grub2 I had 2 versions of Ubuntu installed on 2 different partitions | 20:17 |
| dougstew | and when I updated the older one | 20:17 |
| dougstew | it change the list file on the second patiton | 20:18 |
| dougstew | but when i went to boot again the grub showed me the list from the first partition | 20:18 |
| dougstew | that did not have the kernals for the second partition | 20:19 |
| johanbr | right | 20:19 |
| dougstew | so I could not choose the newer kernel for the older ubuntu | 20:20 |
| johanbr | you'd have to install one grub somewhere else, and fiddle with the config of the other grub to chainload the first one | 20:21 |
| dougstew | That I don't know how to do | 20:21 |
| johanbr | yes, it might be more trouble than it's worth | 20:22 |
| johanbr | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=107487 says a few things about that | 20:22 |
| dougstew | I will read that and thanks for your help | 20:22 |
| johanbr | you're welcome | 20:23 |
| johanbr | have to go, I'm afraid... good luck! | 20:23 |
| dougstew | It says "so you need to manually edit /boot/grub/menu.lst" but with grub2 where is the menu.lst? | 20:25 |
