Ubuntu Installation :: How To Configure MBR To Point To GRUB
Sep 1, 2011I am interested in running Ubuntu side-by-side with my windows 7. It appears that the Ubuntu 11.04 installer does most of the work for me as partitioning according to:[URL] but the only thing it says that I would be having to do myself is changing the code on my MBR to point to the GRUB2. I am not afraid of command prompts, but would like some hand holding as I don't wwant to guess and check when dealing with MBR.
1. Is there any way to share documents between my Ubuntu partition and Windows partition? Or some way to make it so documents and non OS specific files are accessible by both OSs?
2. Is it recommended to let Ubuntu do the partitioning for me? Or is there something to be gained by partitioning myself?

Ubuntu Installation :: Only Booting Windows7 - Configure Grub
Nov 21, 2010My system set-up is one HDD that is partitioned having two Windows7 bootable partitions, and Ubuntu. I originally had Windows7 and Ubuntu, but I wanted to have another Windows7 OS to keep clean for gaming. Of course, when installing Windows7 it wiped out Grub2. I've reinstalled Grub2, but now I'm having a problem in that when I choose Windows7 in the Grub menu, it directs me to the windows boot manager to choose one of my Windows7 partitions to boot. I'd like to configure Grub so I can choose which Windows7 installation I'd like to boot from there. I've tried added custom scripts to point grub directly at the partition where each installation is located, but it always directs me to the windows boot manager. How can I bypass that?

I found no solution to the earlier GRUB mod. So I'm tryin' now to import the PCLOS loader into the Ubuntu GRUB (with XPPro), but alas, no success thus far.
PCLOS disk is now mapping as hd2. From GRUB cli, I did find /boot/grub/menu.lst. It returned 3 entries: (hd0,0[Ubuntu]), (hd2,0), and (hd2,6).

General :: How To Configure Grub (First Option WinXP)
Oct 29, 2009I am running fedora 11 and I am configuring my menu.ist file. I attached the menu.ist file in txt extension. What I want is:
1- I want the first option to be Windows XP (which is on the second HD) and I want the text to be Windows XP instead of Other. This option should be the default (so if I didn't press anything it will boot from xp).
2- To remove the 2.6.29.4-167.fc11.i686.PAE kernel from the list and keep the 2.6.30.5-43.fc11.i586.img available as a second option.
3- Increase the countdown time to 10 seconds.
General :: How To Configure Grub (New Entry Via Yast)
Jun 15, 2010For 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.

View 4 Replies View RelatedUbuntu Installation :: Configure GRUB For A Union Root Partition (aufs)
Apr 7, 2010As recommended, I'm creating a new thread for my configuring GRUB problems commented first hereWe are setting up a new version of a custom system, we are migrating to Ubuntu Karmic from another distribution (Slackware). Besides small differences between these systems (most of them from the most recent versions of software used by the latest Ubuntu, such as GRUB 2), it has been decided that the new system will run an union root partition using aufs and tempfs, basically, we are following the steps provided heree install the system to a new hard drive from an already running Ubuntu Karmic system, usingdebootstrap/chroot, we move the disk to another sytem, so we have to correct disk references, we are able to run this system and it behaves correctly the first time it boots, it bypasses the GRUB menu since there are no other systems detected. However, after halting the system and booting it, the GRUB menu appears with a new "recovery" option, we've managed to remove this recovery option usingGRUB_DISABLE_LINUX_RECOVERY=trueBut then, the GRUB menu appears again, this time with only one option to boot: our system installation. But when this GRUB menu appears, it has no default timeout and so it stays forever unless ENTER is pressed to boot into the selected entry.
The main problem is that we are unable to configure GRUB inside the new installation because it always returns this message:grub-probe error cannot find a device for /If we boot the system "normally" (mounting root to a normal partition), we are able to configure GRUB properly, but it does not behave the same when using the union file system as /We are only looking for a way to bypass the GRUB menu and boot our system, do you have any advice on how to properly configure the GRUB menu for our system
OpenSUSE Install :: Restore Windows 7 And Configure GRUB?
Jan 29, 2010My problem is that I have installed openSUSE 11.2 on a laptop with Windows 7 already installed. Yast resized my Windows partitions, which seemed to upset Windows as I had to go to my Windows Recovery Disc to restore it. When Windows was restored it did something so that GRUB no longer appeared. So I did a system recovery for openSUSE 11.2 which then removed Windows 7 from GRUB! Now I'm trying to restore Windows 7 and configure GRUB so that Windows and openSUSE will stop fight for boot supremacy and play nice with each other. Here are my Yast2 Boot Loader settings:

Ubuntu :: GRUB 2 : Difference Between 'grub-pc', 'grub-efi' And 'grub-coreboot'?
Jan 6, 2010I would like to know if there is any differences on how to install and to configure GRUB 2 in the different architectures (BIOS/IBM PC-Compatibles, EFI/MacIntel and Corebbot)? Does the Ubuntu installer automatically recognize the different architectures and install the appropriate GRUB 2 package ('grub-pc', 'grub-efi' or 'grub-coreboot' according to the arch)? Or does it just install 'grub-pc'? Is the location of GRUB 2's configuration files different depending on the arch of the computer? Or are they all located in '/boot/grub/', '/etc/grub/default' and '/etc/grub.d/', no matter the arch of the computer? Are the files' structure and options to configure GRUB 2 ('/etc/grub/default' and the scripts in '/etc/grub.d/') different depending on the arch of the computer?

View 9 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Get The Version Of GRUB / GRUB-legacy To Boot Any Recent Windows 64 Beyond XP (Vista Or 7)
Dec 20, 2010I've been using Linux for over a decade, so no need to worry about the obvious. I'm positive that I have my partitions/install correct. What has me baffled is that Fedora 14, which uses GRUB 0.97 (GRUB legacy) - boots Windows flawlessly every single time on the same hardware, but Ubuntu's (or the upstream Debian's) GRUB legacy do not - even though they are based on the same upstream code from the GNU Savannah servers.
No matter what I've tried I cannot get the Debian or Ubuntu version of GRUB/GRUB-legacy to boot any recent Windows 64 beyond XP (Vista or 7). All that it does is resets the computer when Windows attempts to boot, without an error. GRUB is notoriously difficult to compile, so before I try to compile code from RedHat's archives - any thoughts,experiences, similar issues - whatever?
Ubuntu :: Booting From NForce FakeRAID - Hand Correct Grub.cfg After Update-grub?
Mar 5, 2011I was unaware of the difficulties of installing and booting Ubuntu from the "onboard raid" that the NVIDIA nForce chipsets provide. However, I've managed to get it working reliably with one single caveat:
When update-grub builds the grub.cfg, it refers to all of my partitions as follows:
Code:
menuentry 'Ubuntu, with Linux 2.6.35-27-generic' --class ubuntu --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os {
recordfail
insmod part_msdos
insmod ext2
set root='(/dev/mapper/nvidia_caifaefg,msdos5)'
[Code]...
So I'm guessing that the whole nvidia_blah,msdos5 is because of that. However, it doesn't seem to explain why Grub would THINK that would work and it in fact does not work. That's the biggest source of confusion on my part.
My questions are as follows: First off, because as an IT person I want to know: Why does this sort of change work? What does changing that device name change in GRUB's behavior? Is there a setting in /etc/default/grub that would change the way it's naming these RAID devices? Is there a value for this setting that would give me the device names that work, as explained above?
If there is no setting change I can make in /etc/default/grub, could I add a sed command on to the end of update-grub or can I make a modification to one of the scripts in /etc/grub.d? What sort of change would be recommended? How would I preserve this change through later package upgrades that would possibly rewrite these files?
