Help needed editing grub
 
Hi, I'm not new to Linux, but have been lucky (mostly) in the past and have found that things work, so maybe my experience is less than that of many others.
My wife has recently been showing an interest in trying Linux on her laptop, so I've downloaded the latest Ubuntu and burned it onto a cd. I have tried booting from the disk and it works fine on my pc (running Pardus 2009.2), so I have the live version for her to try on her laptop, which I know does work.
I'd like to install this latest Ubuntu on my system so that she can see the difference in speed etc when running direct from the hard drive, but I'm finding that my boot loader is not seeing the installation. Can anyone help me with editing the necessary grub files to make it work. Please ask for copies of any configuration files etc if required and I will paste them here. I can access all the Ubuntu files, just can't boot into Ubuntu.

Can you post the /boot/grub/grub.conf file?

ronlau9 10-27-2010 01:40 PM

Where did you install GRUB ?
Did GRUB come up you when boot the laptop
Which laptop is it ?
If you only have one drive did you install it on the MBR Of SDa .

You could experiment by changing the root of the installation.

Instead of:

root (hd0,0)

You could try:

root (hd1,1)

If that does not work, I would try the other roots listed.

Sorry, where do you suggest I edit? Do you mean for me to try editing the grub.conf that came with the Ubuntu installation (second one)?

Omnicronos 10-27-2010 05:04 PM

Your grub.conf file is the most complicated one I've ever seen. You say you are using Pardus 2009.2, but I don't see an entry for it in your grub.conf file. That should have been done when you installed it. You might want to think about re-installing it. Also, are you really using all those Linux versions? It might be worth doing a fresh install and wiping everything.

yancek 10-27-2010 06:59 PM

Your Pardus install has a grub.conf, which is what you posted, correct?
That means it is using Grub Legacy.
Your new Ubuntu install uses Grub2. Mixing them usually requires some user interaction and since I don't use Grub2 beta software, I'll just point you to this tutorial for Grub2 with Ubuntu:

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2

and this tutorial which has an explanation on booting with Grub Legacy and Grub2 on the same system, Section 5.B:

http://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/grub-2.html

Bear in mind that Grub Legacy counts harddrives from zero, partitions from zero.
Grub2 counts hard drives from zero and partitions from one.

You have a lot of entries not needed. If you don't have Ubuntu 8.04 installed you could delete any of those entries.

I also noticed that your drive numbering has changed. I'm not sure why this is. Compare the entries in the Pardus grub.conf file with the Ubuntu grub.cfg:

menu.lst
Pardus: (hd0,0)
Ubuntu 8.04 (hd0,4)
Sabayon (hd1,1)

the Ubuntu grub.cfg
Pardus (hd1,1)
Ubuntu 10.04 (hd1,7)
Ubuntu 8.04 (hd1,5)
Sabayon (hd2,2)

The partition numbers changed by one which they should. The drive numbers should not have changed unless you changed the cables. It may result from changing the boot priority before Ubuntu install but I really don't know.

What distributions do you want to keep? Might be easier to clean up what you don't want but I would check the tutorials above particularly the second one.

corp769 10-27-2010 07:36 PM

Wow, I have never seen so much grub..... I never really used ubuntu or anything like that, I'm a hard-core fedora and BSD user, not sure if that counts? Anyway.... Have you tried just manually editing your grub.conf and adding the entries like so? That's what I normally do when dual-booting from existing linux boxes.

udaman 10-27-2010 08:41 PM

I agree with yancek, use the tutorial from Dedoimedo, section 5B gives instructions on how to use both Grub and Grub2. Grub is what you currently see when you reboot, Grub2 can be installed on the partition that contains your Ubuntu install. Using the chainloader function Grub will pass the boot process to Grub2 on the Ubuntu disk.

Thank you, this looks like it could be a big help

It is still installed, although hasn't been used in over a year, likewise Sabayon. I have been very happy with Pardus, the others are stops on my journey to discovering a distro that I like and have been able to use relatively free of problems.

the Ubuntu grub.cfg
Pardus (hd1,1)
Ubuntu 10.04 (hd1,7)
Ubuntu 8.04 (hd1,5)
Sabayon (hd2,2)

The partition numbers changed by one which they should. The drive numbers should not have changed unless you changed the cables. It may result from changing the boot priority before Ubuntu install but I really don't know.
I think it may be just that, although it was a long time ago and I forget

What distributions do you want to keep? Might be easier to clean up what you don't want but I would check the tutorials above particularly the second one.
I agree, it is a job I must do.

First thing to do is back up what I want to keep onto the external drive, although this is proving awkward at the moment, but there lies another problem. I will work this out, but may be back with more questions.

Thank you for pointing me (hopefully) in the right direction.

Will try to reinstall Ubuntu into some of the massive amount of drive space I now have and then try the chain loading thing
