kcm-grub2 - No valid GRUB2/BURG installation could be detected

cristi92b · 06-14-2012, 06:41 AM

I have KDE Control Module for configuring GRUB2 ( kcm-grub2 ) installed by default and when I open it I get:
No valid GRUB2/BURG installation could be detected!

I tried to run the program from terminal logged in as root, but

Code:

sabayon-home cristi # kcm-grub2
bash: kcm-grub2: command not found
sabayon-home cristi # kcm-config-grub2
bash: kcm-config-grub2: command not found

Can you please tell me why Grub2 cannot be detected?

I'm using Sabayon 9 x86_64 with KDE.

Code:

sabayon-home cristi # ls -l -a /boot

Are you sure, there is grub2 installed? /boot/grub is "old" grub folder I guess.
Try:
grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg
grub2-install /dev/sda (or whatever deice you boot from)

If it fails on command not command not found, than you probably don't have grub2 installed

Code:

sabayon-home grub # grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg
bash: grub2-mkconfig: command not found

sabayon-home grub # grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg
bash: grub2-mkconfig: command not found

sabayon-home grub # grub2-install /dev/sda4
/sbin/grub-probe: error: cannot find a GRUB drive for /dev/sda4.  Check your device.map.

sabayon-home grub # grub2-install /dev/sda5
/sbin/grub-setup: warn: Attempting to install GRUB to a partitionless disk or to a partition.  This is a BAD idea..
/sbin/grub-setup: warn: Embedding is not possible.  GRUB can only be installed in this setup by using blocklists.  However, blocklists are UNRELIABLE and their use is discouraged..
/sbin/grub-setup: error: will not proceed with blocklists.

sabayon-home grub # grub2-install /dev/sda
Installation finished. No error reported.

sabayon-home grub # grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg
bash: grub2-mkconfig: command not found

sabayon-home grub #

The first one doesn't work.

Rebooted, same bootloader behaviour, same problem.
