You need it in CentOS if that's the OS that wireless isn't working.
Also if your debian OS is asking for cd/dvd you need to comment it out in /etc/apt/sources.list

I tried grub-mkconfig and update-grub the terminal on the CentOS side:
Code:

No need bothering grub, debian has control over it.
Quote:
Do you mean the second entry in the /etc/apt/sources.list? (to uncomment)
Yes after that update & upgrade your system.
You should also start a new thread for your centos network issue.
If original problem is solved mark as such.

The easiest way to mount CentOS is go to disk utility & mount both centos partitions & run update-grub
I can't mnt the CentOS partitions from Debian and I can't mnt CentOS while it is stuck in Konsole Mode/Emeregency mode. Cmd-line will only let me look at logs.
I was able to up-grub from Debian.
I only have once choice at this point; to enter rescue mode and recover CentOS from my Live CD/DVD.
Should that fail I'll have to perform a fresh installation.
