Inserting entry of opensuse in grub 2 of linux mint 10 Problem
 

i installed opensuse 11.3 on sda6
and linux mint 10 on sda8

currently the grub2 appears at start of system and there is no entry for opensuse 11.3

i didn't installed the grub bootloader at time of opensuse installation as then i would be having grub and grub2 both

please tell how to insert the entry of opensuse in grub 2 ?

i want to know which files are to be edited and what has to be inserted to accomplish this task ?

any tutorial or example would be really helpful

You have two options.

You can either install grub in your opensuse installation and install it to the root partition, NOT the MBR.

or

You can just make a /boot/grub folder with a menu.lst file that contains the info for your suse kernels.

when you update-grub in your mint install grub2 will then pick up the contents of your menu.lst file.

The first approach has the drawback of installing grub to a partition boot record using blocklists, which are said to be unreliable.

The second approach has the drawback of the need to manually update the /boot/grub/menu.lst file each time you upgrade the kernel.

I use the second approach on my Gentoo installation.
If you look at the last entry, you will see that I have an entry called latest. What I do here is use a symbolic link to point to the newest kernel. If you use an initrd you will also have to have a line for those

EDIT: I guess that you really have a third option. Which would be to cerate a custom entry in the
/etc/grub.d/40_custom file. If you would like to go that route let me know and I can help you with that.

This seems to be one of the best tutorials on grub2.

This tutorial is from ubuntu but will work for you. The easiest way would be to do a repair from the suse cd and install grub to / and then from grub2 run os-prober and then update-grub and that should straighten things out.
