Author: Tim Date: To: Hampshire LUG Discussion List Subject: [Hampshire] I've broken grub
I have an Acer Laptop that was daul booting with Mepis 8 and Kubuntu 9.04 (yes I
know its beta). I tried to make some changes to the grub, basicilly using the
mepis grub menu.lst and adding the kunbutu bit to it, Mepis has a graphical
grub scrren while kubuntu is basic text, well as you can guess I broke it.
I can boot into Mepis ok I cannot boot into Kubuntu, the error message seem to
think it can't find the boot device, kubuntu use uuid and I think one of those
has gone awry when I started playing
Here are my partitions
hda1 Acer recovery
hda2 Kunbuntu
hda3 Extended partion
hda5 Mepis
hda6 swap (shared between mepis and kubuntu)
The laptop was a dual boot with Windows XP (on hda2) and Mepis hda5. I then
installed kunbuntu over XP on hda2. Everything worked ok
The main part of the Kunbuntu menu.lst looks like this:
