Re: [ubuntu-uk] Grub/bootloader configs (was: Ubuntu 64 bit)
Hi folks, As it turned out, the partition I had my previous installation in wasn't formatted, so grub was finding stuff that I thought had gone. I formatted it, ran grub-update and it only picked up what I needed. Frustrating, really. Just as I'm getting the hang of things they go and change the way everything works :) Thanks for all your help, guys.

The new shiny configuration file is /etc/default/grub, but try running "sudo update-grub" first to see if it autodetects and fixes everything. -- Josh "dutchie" Holland http://www.joshh.co.uk/ http://twitter.com/jshholland http://identi.ca/jshholland -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/

Hi Paul,
Thanks for your response. As far as I can see, they're not in the same
place. My grub menu tells me it's 1.97 beta4 when I boot up. Looking in
/boot/grub, there is no file with the relevant name.
I did find grub.cfg, but.. it clearly states at the top of the file:
# DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE
So, what do I do. Do I ignore the message, or carry on regardless?

If you still have Grub1, then they are still in the same place
('/boot/grub/menu.lst'), which is dynamially updated by the command
'update-grub', based on the installed Linux kernels (dpkg -l linux-image-*).

Why do one side of a triangle when you can do all three. Somewhere, GB.
