Why does not update-grub detect Fedora 13 installation?
in [Debian]
|
From: H.S. on 12 Jul 2010 00:20 On a newly installed Debian Testing system, I installed Fedora 13 in a partition but chose not to install the boot loaded since I wanted to use Debian's boot loader for all OSes. Now when I do update-grub in Debian, it detects all OSes installed in the hard drives connected to the system, but does not detect Fedora 13. I had to manually add the stanza lines for F13 to get its option in the grub boot list. I am using LVM. F13 is installed with / mounted on /dev/mapper/vg1-lv8 and its boot on /dev/sdc5. Update-grub appears to miss detecting the kernels in /dev/sdc5 altogether. Any idea why is that? Thanks. -- Please reply to this list only.

I don't know so much how the "new beast" (GRUB2) works, but if "man update-grub¹" is right, it will detect all the "vmlinuz" files that are under the "/boot" partition, not sure if this condition fits in your case. I guess there are still situations where a manual edition of GRUB2 menu is required (i.e., bootloader chainloading). ¹ http://man.he.net/man8/update-grub Greetings, -- Camaleón -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

I have F13's kernel on a partition mounted as /boot2 (primary partition, not in LVM) in my Debian's fstab. However, update-grub works on all other OSes I have on my hard drives, include Windows XP, Windows 7 and Fedora 9, and those partitions are not even mounted. -- Please reply to this list only.

I think windows OS falls apart (as there are no "vmlinuz" files to detect) but fedora9 should be the same case than Fedora13, provided that is also located in a different disk. When you run the "update-grub" command, it writes a bad entry for fedora13 or just writes nothing? Also, take a look into the bugs that have already filled for grub-pc: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?package=grub-pc Greetings, -- Camaleón -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Nothing at all. It plain ignores F13. My manually entered lines in /etc/grub.d/40_custom work though. ########################################################### menuentry "Fedora release 13 (on /dev/mapper/vg1-lv8)" { insmod part_msdos insmod ext4 set root='(hd0,msdos5)' search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set b40b5b7f-6999-4a12-9d3b-62e0fc892a40 linux /vmlinuz-2.6.33.6-147.fc13.x86_64 root=/dev/mapper/vg1-lv8 ro quiet initrd /initramfs-2.6.33.6-147.fc13.x86_64.img boot } ########################################################### > Also, take a look into the bugs that have already filled for grub-pc: > > http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?package=grub-pc I will.
