Ubuntu :: Write Grub2 To MBR?
Jul 19, 2010I have made a new /boot/grub/grub.conf file.
How do I write it to MBR? Do I have to be running from CD?
I can't find new Grub2 instructions anywhere.

Jul 11, 2011I installed Fedora 15, which was my first real departure from Debian based Linux OSs. I absolutely love the new Gnome 3, and was able to configure F15 to work as I wanted it to. On rebooting I realized that there was no boot loader screen, that F15 just booted and didn't give me a choice as to which OS I wanted to use. Eventually I was able to configure grub to let me see the boot loader and added my old boot loader as a choice. This worked well, maybe not a perfect solution, but it worked. This weekend I installed LMDE (Linux Mint Debian Edition) to another HDD. LMDE uses grub2 and after the install F15 was not recognized.
Two questions: Is there a way for grub2 to see F15? or Can F15 be installed using grub2? I really don't mind re-installing from scratch.
Fedora :: Load Grub2 From Grub4dos / Load Directly Grub2 Core Without Passing By Bootstriping Code?
Jan 24, 2011I want to load grub2 from grub4dos.I want to load directly the grub2 core. I know how to load first 512 bytes from some patition by chainloader and load grub2, but what I need is to load directly grub2 core without passing by bootstriping code (first 512 bytes).So, my first boot manager is grub4dos, then I can load grub2 and later I load Ubuntu. But I think I have to edit --set-root
What I dont know is how.
In hdd 0,7 (sda8) I have Ubuntu 10.10 and /boot/grub/core.img is in sda8 (hd0.7)
I tried this way:
Code:
title grub2
find --set-root /boot/grub/core.img
kernel /boot/grub/core.img

View 2 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Grub2 On Partition (not MBR)
Jan 20, 2010I tried searching for this both in the forums and on google but it seems that everything goes back to MBR installation. I know that "grub-install /dev/sda1" should install it to the sda1 partition, but instead of installing it keeps giving me the following error:
Code:
grub-probe: error: cannot find a device for /boot/grub.
No path or device is specified.
Try ``grub-probe --help'' for more information.
Auto-detection of a filesystem module failed.
Please specify the module with the option `--modules' explicitly.
I tried this with a fresh installation of Karmic on both of my PCs. I tried with --recheck option as well, same error. Installing it to MBR works fine, but I don't want it there, have another bootloader chainloading grub. Every single guide I found installs GRUB2 to MBR, and some briefly reference to "grub-install /dev/sdaX" without going into any detail. At first I thought the problem was because Ubuntu was installed on a logical partition, so I created a separate /boot partition and formatted it as ext2, still getting the same problem.

Ubuntu :: Grub2 Not Finding All OS's?
Apr 13, 2010I am in the process of trying out different Linux distros. This is what my hard drive partitions look like:
sda1 - Ubuntu
(Free space - about 150 GB)
sda3 - Windows (sadly)
sda4 - Windows Recovery
I successfully installed Fedora to the free space, which is now sda2, but when I was installing, I chose to keep my current bootloader so it wouldn't mess anything up. Now, I can't get Grub to detect my Fedora install, even after running 'update-grub' from the current Grub root (sda1).How can I get Grub to detect my Fedora install?

View 5 Replies View RelatedUbuntu Installation :: Grub2 Won't See The Xp
Jun 9, 2010I have decided to dual boot again because I found a old hard drive laying around.
primary drive: sata 500 gb
ubuntu 10.4 64 bit installed with
boot
[code]...
secondary drive: 120 gb ide drive with xp installed. xp was installed first and wrote the mbr to sda1. I then installed ubuntu 10.4 and it overwrote mbr on sda with grub2. I have tried every combination of the 40_custom script for xp I have found here on the forums but to no avail. The 30_OS probe never seems to see it either. Grub 2 will not see xp. I have it in the menu from the custom_40 but it just reboots the system when I choose it. Any advice is greatly appreciated as I am ready to go back to legacy grub which only took 5 minutes to dual boot last time I did dual boot. I want to give grub2 a chance, since it supposed to be better, but I am getting frustrated.
Here is the output from the boot info script.
Code:
Boot Info Script 0.55 dated February 15th, 2010

Ubuntu :: How To Disable Grub2
Jul 19, 2010After the nightmare of installing Ubuntu10.04 as my second os, with windows 7, dual booting using grub 2 ( GRUB PUTS NOT FOUND). I am using wubi and the win 7 bootloader, I still have the splash screen of grub 2 after I select Ubuntu off the win7 boot loader. I really don't think I need this. Could I get rid of the grub 2 loader, it really doesn't serve any purpose except take up boot up time? go easy, it took me a while to figure out how to shorten the DEFAULT boot load time in grub 2

Jan 15, 2011I'm running Kubuntu 10.4. I cloned an old xp installation into the first primary partition on my disk and I was trying to add it to grub2. I can access the files when I mount it which means that the xp filesystem is working fine. When I do an update-grub though it doesn't detect it. I think that the problem is related to the fact that I cannot find a boot.ini file into the xp installation.

Jul 12, 2011I've been trying to figure out how to start Ubuntu without a GUI with grub2 (I had it figured out for legacy GRUB). Done several searches, and there are a few threads, but they all give different advice that I either don't understand or that don't work.
I tried editing /etc/default/grub with GRUB_TERMINAL=console then updated grub. gdm still loads automatically. I'm probably one of those people "The Idiot's Guide" were written for,can you tell me specifically where the configuration file is that I may have to edit, and exactly what goes on the line that I have to edit? And what does "editing on the fly mean?" I see that a lot in these GRUB tutorials.

Jan 10, 2010I have been reading for hours and just do not get how to do this simple task. I need to add a couple of kernel options to the 3rd menu item that shows in my grub.cfg list. I understand which files to edit (not grub.cfg) and run the updater.
If I look in /etc/default/grub I cannot figure out how to add a kernal parameter unless it is the default.
So basically I want to change the equivilent of this line below:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"
But for a kernel menu item that is not the default.
