Problems with grub-settings after update (Debian)
Hi,
when I installed my Debian (Etch) i had my hard drive on the IDE-bus but due to problems I moved it to a SATA-bus and manually edited menu.lst to point to the new partition of the root file system and everything worked fine until I tried to upgrade the system (apt-get upgrade) and apt reconfigures GRUB using the hardware-information from when the system was first installed (I presume) and booting fails until I start a live-cd and edit menu.lst to point to the correct root file system again. How do I go about to tell apt where the root partition is located so I don't have to panic at every boot after a system upgrade? /Åke |
have you edited the menu.lst file under /boot/grub/ ?

It's not a huge problem but I always forget that I have to edit /boot/grub/menu.lst after an upgrade and I get a bit jumpy when the boot process halts unexpectedly =) /Åke |
I don't use (real) Debian, but I'd guess update-grub is being run automagically for you - "for your benefit" no doubt.
I hate these automatic scripts - check "man update-grub" for how to update the comments you normally ignore. |
