I hope the following won't be interpreted as an attempt to hijack this
thread, but the problem I'm experiencing with multiple-boots and Lucid
is not that the GRUB2 menu doesn't display my other OS-loader - it does
- but rather that the loader cannot be accessed from it. This on my main
(stationary) computer, and on my laptop, both of which are running an
AMD x86-64 dual-core processor. The strange thing is that on my laptop,
when I click the other OS loader in GRUB (1.98-1ubuntu5), the computer
reboots, while on my stationary box, I instead get a black screen with a
blinking dash, seemingly waiting for a command. I've checked using
GParted, and the non-Ubuntu OS installations are still there, but as
noted above, I can't open them. Updating using «sudo update-grub», which
I've tried many times, doesn't help - despite the loader in question
being registered. I've been experiencing this problem on my laptop ever
since Lucid beta 1 was released (the gory details can be found on pp 38
& 39 of the GRUB2 Basics thread
(http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1195275&page=38) on the
English-language Ubuntu fora, to which I first posted on 23 March), and
on my stationary box ever since the release of beta 2....
