Why Server and Desktop since your Vaio-Z is everything but a server ;-) A 'Desktop' system in fact is nothing else than a Server with a Desktop environment on top of it, or did I miss something? Your Vaio will only boot on one grub, the other grub is only present but not known or seen from 'Stage 1' in your MBR since that can only point to one 'Stage 2' in one /boot/ dir (Desktop or Server). If you made changes in your "Server Installation", you have to return to your "Desktop Installation" and run 'sudo-update' grub. But that will maybe not change the commandline from your server setup. Since your combination is REALY strange, nobody would even imagine such a setup ;-) Maybe it is better to install grub-legacy on the server, that makes it much easier to handle By the way, if you need a Server for developing or simply because you want an OS-Zoo, you can setup one in a VirtualBox or Xen environment but beside a Desktop... How do you want to reach that "server" while the 'Desktop Installation' is running? > > I have no problems with stamina mode on both server and desktop > installation > > but nvidia is not working and even after 2 days of all the search and > trying various things it is not working > > in speed mode it has only nvidia listed when i do > > lspci |grep VGA > 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation G98 [GeForce 9300M > GS] (rev ff) OK.
