Looks like most of us were asleep while you were busy with these GRUB recovery adventures ! The Belenix installer indeed makes its GRUB the primary GRUB, and we need to add entries for other Linux distros. At an event last year in Bangalore, Moinak had chaperoned a GRUB modification session where the team had come up with a mechanism to identify other installed OS and add entries for them automatically into GRUB's menu.lst Moinak, we should take that ahead. > Enough posting for today I'm off!!!
