grub editting

Postby billhedrick » Fri Sep 24, 2010 1:44 pm

OK I have diligently updated everything and see that new kernals are installed, but I don't see them in grub, I did sudo upgrade grub and it looked like it was working but nothing shows up in my grub screen. I have a copy of supergrubdisk but am reluctant to use this tool if I can avoid it, isn't there a grub editor I can use within Ultimate Edition?

No the kernals there (and I am away from the machine) only show the original kernals, not the updated ones. I should have 4 or6 different options in 2.6, I only have the original installed ones.

Do you have more than 1 Ultimate Edition or Ubuntu installed?
The reason I ask is that only 1 will control the grub menu. I have more than 1 Ultimate Edition installed on my machines, so when there is a new kernel installed in one that doesn't control grub I have to run
Code: Select all
sudo update-grub

in the one that controls grub for the other installs new kernels to show up in the grub menu.

ahhhh that might be it. I have 2.5 on one drive and 2.6 on the other. I don't use 2.5 anymore but that is where the grub is!

OK that did it, I am now booted into the latest kernal for 2.6. The grub file was on my 2.5 install, when I did sudo update-grub when booted into 2.5 the newest kernals showed up in grub when I restarted.

Sometimes it's the simple things that elude us. Glad it's working right now.

If you want to have grub controlled by the newer install (the one you use regularly now) run this while you're in the newest one so it will take control of it. Be sure to change sda to the drive that is first in the boot order (where grub is currently installed)
Code: Select all
sudo grub-install /dev/sda
