I recently updated my debain system from 0.95 to .96 and grub-reboot seems to be missing from the install. Also savedefault no longer works at the command line.
GNU GRUB version 0.97 (640K lower / 3072K upper memory) [ Minimal BASH-like line editing is supported. For the first word, TAB lists possible command completions. Anywhere else TAB lists the possible completions of a device/filename. ] grub> savedefault Error 27: Unrecognized command grub> savedefault 1 Error 27: Unrecognized command grub> savedefault 3 Error 27: Unrecognized command grub> I copied the stage files over after I did make install and I ran grub-install /dev/hda. Although I've seen other people ask about this problem .. I have not seen anyone post a solution and was wondering if you guys have it figured out yet? I've also tried "grub-save-default" and when it rebooted no changes were made. It just booted into the normal system. more info: neo:/boot/grub# ls -asl total 1249 1 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 1024 2006-02-11 02:24 . 1 drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 1024 2006-02-10 06:28 .. 1 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 197 2006-02-11 02:24 default 1 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 30 2006-01-03 01:44 device.map 8 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 7744 2006-02-11 02:24 e2fs_stage1_5 8 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 7472 2006-02-11 02:24 fat_stage1_5 7 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 6752 2006-02-11 02:24 ffs_stage1_5 1055 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1073160 2006-02-11 02:07 grub 7 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 6784 2006-02-11 02:24 iso9660_stage1_5 9 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 8288 2006-02-11 02:24 jfs_stage1_5 2 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1387 2006-02-11 02:07 menu.lst 5 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4185 2006-01-04 06:40 menu.lst~ 7 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 6944 2006-02-11 02:24 minix_stage1_5 9 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 9184 2006-02-11 02:24 reiserfs_stage1_5 1 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 512 2006-02-11 02:24 stage1 103 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 104370 2006-02-11 02:24 stage2 7 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 7124 2006-02-11 02:24 ufs2_stage1_5 7 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 6400 2006-02-11 02:24 vstafs_stage1_5 10 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 9224 2006-02-11 02:24 xfs_stage1_5 neo:/boot/grub# cat menu.lst default 0 timeout 5 color cyan/blue white/blue title WatchDog Kernel on Recovery root (hd0,0) kernel /vmlinuz-alrt root=/dev/hda4 ro savedefault boot title WatchDog Kernel on Normal root (hd0,0) kernel /vmlinuz-alrt root=/dev/hda3 ro savedefault boot title Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.8 root (hd0,0) kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.8 root=/dev/hda4 ro savedefault boot The splash screen shows the correct version on boot.. so I know I am using the current code.
