Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: grub2
For some reasons I cannot successfully boot windows 7 from GRUB2. The
following entry was added in 40_custom and ran update-grub.
40_custom:
menuentry "Microsoft Windows 7 TEST" {
insmod ntfs
set root=(hd1,0)
search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set A4AC0BADAC0B78D6
drivemap -s (hd0) ${root}
chainloader +1
}
The scenario is this:
- Both hard drives are SATA.
- Ubuntu is installed on SATA0 mobo port and is being detected by gparted in sda
- Win7 is installed on SATA1 mobo port and is being detected by gparted in sdb
- When running update-grub, no errors are being reported and I can see that
win7 got detected.
- Finally, when choosing win7 from the grub2 list... the system appears to
start but freezes when trying to load windows.
If I disconnect the SATA0 hard disk (Ubuntu) and turn on my computer...
windows 7 loads without any problems.
