Actually, from this point of view, Grub2 is a step in the right direction: as opposed to Grub Legacy, it has an "os-prober" script which re-configures your boot menu, incorporating all the OSes on all your partitions it can find. So, it's not the "last installed" system that configures your boot menu as in Grub legacy, overriding any previous boot loaders. In Grub2 *you* get to choose which of your systems will configure your boot loader. Well, at least, that's the idea ;) On an unrelated note, for those who are struggling in vain to make Grub2 boot graphics ("splashimages") work: the update-grub script in Lenny, for some reason or other, doesn't propagate the GRUB_GFXMODE variable from /etc/default/grub. That's why using the ${GRUB_GFXMODE} variable in /etc/grub.d/00_header simply won't work. You have to set gfxmode literally, as in: <snip> set gfxmode=1400x1050 <pins> The following (at least on my Lenny system) won't work: <snip> set gfxmode=${GRUB_GFXMODE} <pins> although you may have a perfectly defined GRUB_GFXMODE in /etc/default/ grub. In addition, not all jpeg images will work with Lenny's Grub2 (if you have such a problematic jpg, just convert it to png and it should work). -- Regards, Klistvud Certifiable Loonix User #481801 http://bufferoverflow.tiddlyspot.com -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
