Missing Grub.conf

carlosinfl · 03-21-2006, 10:08 AM

I was trying to edit my grub splash image and following these steps.

I noticed that I have no damn clue where the heck my "grub.conf" is.

Can anyone please help me?

Code:

cwilliams:/# cd /boot/
cwilliams:/boot# ls
config-2.6.15-1-486  grub                     initrd.img-2.6.15-1-686  System.map-2.6.15-1-686  vmlinuz-2.6.15-1-686
config-2.6.15-1-686  initrd.img-2.6.15-1-486  System.map-2.6.15-1-486  vmlinuz-2.6.15-1-486
cwilliams:/boot# cd grub/
cwilliams:/boot/grub# ls
debian_grub.xpm.gz  device.map     fat_stage1_5  menu.lst   minix_stage1_5     stage1  xfs_stage1_5
default             e2fs_stage1_5  jfs_stage1_5  menu.lst~  reiserfs_stage1_5  stage2
cwilliams:/boot/grub# cd /
cwilliams:/# locate grub.conf
/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.15-1/debian/examples/kpkg_grub.conf

The grub config files on most distros is /boot/grub/menu.lst which you already have. Some distros use /boot/grub/grub.conf but this not the norm.

It’s interesting to note that the grub manual ( http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/grub.html ) makes 7 references to menu.lst and no references to grub.conf.

menu.lst is often a link to grub.conf in distros that use grub.conf, so you can almost always find menu.lst.

You can name your splashimage splash.xpm so that the command update-grub doesn't overrite it. update-grub is run(i think) every time grub package is updated.
