Ubuntu :: How To Modify Name Grub Entry (Kubuntu 10.10)
Nov 10, 2010
Trying to change with the entry of grub:
sudo kate /boot/grub/grub.cfg putting "Windows 7" in place of Windows Recovery Environment (loader) on /dev/sda2.
Just launch the command sudo update-grub charge me more:
-Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.35-22-generic
-Found initrd image: /boot/initrd.img-2.6.35-22-generic
-Found memtest86+ image: /boot/memtest86+.bin -Found Windows Recovery Environment (loader) on /dev/sda2
Windows 7 should be written here. The procedure is another?

I just installed archlinux to try it out and need to add the entry to Grub.
I formated the hard drive with the a root partition for arch of 42Gb and ubuntu can see it perfeclty.
When I was installing arch I made a mistake and installed grub again, overwriting my previous grub with my ubuntu and windows entries.
So I fixed and got my working grub back with SuperGrubDisk, but now I want to add the ARCHLINUX entry to Grub and dont know how. I have added the previous entries from the grub that ARCH installed and moved the initrd and vmlinuz files to the /boot directory on ubuntu, but it doesnt work. I did a similar thing with Acronis True Image rescue cds(to avoid having to insert the cd in order to use it) and it worked like a charm, but I am lost in this one.
Here are my partitions, sdb is the one where all my partitions and files are (sdb5 is where ARCH is), the other 2 are backups:
Quote:
Disk /dev/sda: 2000.4 GB, 2000398934016 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 243201 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Disk identifier: 0xda85214c

I have a pc where there was redhat installed, and I decided to put ubuntu in dual boot.The installation went ok, but now I can't log in with redhat anymore. RH was installed on a RAID partition, and I installed ubuntu on an additional HD.
Now I have two problems:
a) I cannot boot red hat, since there is no such entry in the grub
b) this machine had several users, that now cannot access it remotely anymore.
Below you can find the output of fdisk -l and the grub.cfg files, the old red hat one, and the new one created by ubuntu. Not that in any case I cannot reinstall redhat, since there are other people using the machine.

I was cleaning old kernels from Grub menu, all sorted except for a vista entry that i could not delete. Ran this line which I found,"sudo chmod -x /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober", to remove unwanted entries, now only the linux entry left in Grub menu, windows 7 entry gone. The vista entry was from an old install which is not there anymore. Running 10.10 at the moment which is dualbooted with win7.

I've previously had a dual boot Vista/Ubuntu machine that was working fine. Fast forward, I'm not able to boot into Vista at all and decide to reformat, return to factory settings after which I'll simply reinstall Ubuntu to get my functioning dual-boot back. I reformat the drive, everything seems to work fine and when I reboot I'm met by the GRUB screen rather then the Vista bootloader screen I expected. I select the Vista option and rather than starting to boot, seeing the Windows splash and then breaking (as it's been doing for a few weeks leading up to my decision to reformat), I'm promptly given a message that it can't find the disk 5252-ACFA (that Vista was previously on). After further inspection, my Ubuntu partition is still in tact and untouched, so I think the 'reformat' simply reformatted the Vista partition not the entire HD as I'd wanted. How do I modify GRUB to point to the new correct Vista boot?

I have installed ubuntu 9.10 and everything was working fine. Just a minutes ago a window popped up telling me that a complete update couldn't be completed, and asked me to go on with a partial update. I did it and then a window popped up (I think it was debconf running) asking me if I wanted to delete phpmyadmin database configuration or if I wanted to keep it... seemed like the updater was removing quite a bunch of packages!
After that I was presented with a long list of packages to be removed (among them apache2, php5, linux headers, etc.) I thought it was going to remove them in order to reinstall them latter, so I let it go) but now there's no ubuntu entry in the grub menu, so I had to boot with windows! Right now I'm downloading ubuntu 9.10 livecd to give it a try...

My problem is this, I decided to try Pardus since I had the disk space available and learned that it never created a entry for Ubuntu 9.10 64-Bit. I have tried many different boot options and have only gotten it to show the first black and white bootsplash but never can continue to boot. Is there a option I am forgetting to add via Pardus's GRUB editor or is it something else?

I have added a manual entry to /etc/grub.d/40_custom and ran update-grub and the entry is added to /boot/grub/grub.cfg OK. But when booting the entry is not appearing. I am a bit stumped trouble shooting this as there are no errors.

Tried upgrading from 8.04 lts to 10.04 and it wouldn't work b/c of too many mods to my 8.04 system? So I tried a fresh install per usb stick. System kept locking up during install, as well as when I run it from the usb, I've since learned. graphics card? I can't log into windows either per the grub loading please wait error 15. I've googled & searched the forums & everything I've tried doesn't work, there were some possible solutions that I don't understand how to do. can't get to a terminal to check or modify anything. Hitting "e" at the boot menu does nothing. I don't know how to do anything from here! Compaq Presario SR5350, 2GB RAM, Dual Core Proc 2150MHz. Dual boot w/Vista, HDD is partitioned separately with Root, Home & swap. Also, sda5 or / has been formatted to ext4, still using grub 1.5.

I currently dual boot and wish to know how to remove the Windows partition/drive while still allowing Ubuntu 9.04 to load safely as my main OS. I know how to restore windows partition by;
If MBR gets damaged boot from MS Windows Xp disc, Select "R" for "recovery console", select main windows installation drive (admin password usually nothing, just press enter) and type "FIXMBR" this will allow you to boot windows again, but Ubuntu partition will be unbootable and require installing ubuntu again to dual boot.
But this leaves Ubuntu partition Un-bootable as it removes the grub menu, how would I do the same for Ubuntu and make window partition un-bootable so I can remove it?

Ubuntu's update manager recently updated the Grub menu.lst file. It let me decide if I wanted to keep my old menu.lst or the new one. After deciding that I was fine with the new one, I found out that I can no longer boot into Windows 7. I had previously edited menu.lst so that Windows would be at the top of the list, however, I didn't notice that this had put it into the automagic update area, and I realize now that I should have just edited what the default number was instead of moving around the entries.
Anyways, I can no longer access my Windows 7 OS via Grub, and I was wondering what sort of fix I can have for this. I've tried running update-grub, but it hasn't fixed the problem. The Windows bootloader is on the first partition of the only hard drive, as far as I can remember.

I followed the instructions from this post to reorder my boot options. But somehow I was stupid enough not to copy the windows entry, as indicated (I was mainly following only terminal instructions and such).Now I have a grub menu without my Windows 7 entry, please tell me there is a way to restore it.

I want to avoid kernel id in Grub entry. I have searched before and one poster (can't find it again) posted a very simple Fedora Grub entry that just pointed to Fedoara's menu.lst. which worked.
For Suse I use:
title openSUSE 11.1 (on /dev/sda7) by symlinks
root (hd0,6)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/sda7 splash=silent showopts vga=0x31a
initrd /boot/initrd
savedefault
boot
I nave tried:
title Fedora
root (hd0,4)
rootnoverify (hd0,4)
chainloader +1
Where Fedora is on sda5 but, doesn't work for some reason.

For some time I have been using Clonezilla to backup/restore linux installations. I would like - instead to USB-key that is always not to be found, to somehow "move" the clonezilla (on a USB stick). What I have tried to is to make a separate partition to install this on, copied all the files on the USB -key to that partition, and then make a new entry in GRUB via yast. Then I point to the new wmlinus and initramfs. I would have been much surprised if something link this was working after first shot. But it was also not working after the 80. shot.

I've just installed fc 13 on my laptop. It's got windows and mepis linux on here also. the installer for fc only found windows and I was wondering if there's a way to modify the graphical grub screen to contain mepis linux or if i have to disable it and use a standard text screen for grub.

My Slackware boots using the huge kernel. I am not using LILO; I am using GRUB from the extras directory on the DVD. I followed the tutorial @ [URL] up to the point where it discusses modifying LILO. My /boot/grub/menu.lst reads, in part:
# Linux bootable partition config begins
title Slackware Linux on (/dev/sda7)
root (hd0,6)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/sda7 ro vga=normal
# Linux bootable partition config ends
This boots the huge kernel. What changes must I make to the above menu.lst entry to boot using the generic kernel?

I'm going to try and install fglrx again, however last time it killed my system, giving me a 'display not detected' error on my monitor with no way to reach a non-grapgical tty to edit xorg.conf.Is it possible to create a custom grub entry that will boot Fedora 15 with the Radeon drivers in case fglrx once again trashes my system?

I have looked at the GNU GRUB Manual 1.99 at [URL] but I cannot find an explanation of what the kernel entry / command in the grub.conf file means. I get what's the meaning of that entry but where is described what it actually is and what are proper.
I suppose this entry / command was actual in GRUB Legacy, but I cannot find where it is described...

I have just installed Debian and the installation went smooth (net installation). The last prompt was to specify if you want to be able to boot 3 different OS's using grub. I answered yes (I have Win7, Ubuntu and now wanted to install Debian for testing purposes). Is there any way I could manually add entry to grub for booting Debian, for instance from Ubuntu adding to menu.lst?
