(In reply to comment #0) > Description of problem: > After instaling Linux Mint 11 to /dev/sdb8 and runing > grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg /boot/grub ? Fedora grub2 uses /boot/grub2. That is where it places files and that is where it looks for device.map and so on. If you have a shared /boot where some other distro has installed /boot/grub then I guess you should use that distro for updating the config file and you will have to do a lot of manual work to ensure that the distros doesn't step on each others files. (Separate /boot and chain loading will probably be less trouble.) > Fedora F16 form /boot/grub2/grub.cfg > menuentry "linux (on /dev/sdb8)" --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os { > insmod part_msdos > insmod ext2 > set root='(hd1,msdos8)' > search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root 4b20feaf-9cf7-49b2-896d-94602ce1cded > linux /boot/vmlinuz BOOT_IMAGE=linux > root=UUID=4b20feaf-9cf7-49b2-896d-94602ce1cded resume=/dev/vg_flokid/lv_swap > splash=silent vga=788 > initrd (hd1,7)/boot/initrd.img > } How do the full grub.cfg look like?

Yo got me. This bug should bee closed as NOTABUG. >> grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg >/boot/grub ? Fedora grub2 uses /boot/grub2. Yes this is wrong output file an no wonder why F16 could not boot Linux Mint. >How do the full grub.cfg look like? Is this one of the 10_linux entries or is >it from 30_os-prober ? It was from 30_os-prober. But entry from before installation off LINUX mint. >This is (AFAIK) not valid syntax for grub 1.99 used by Fedora 16. If that works >for you then you are using a boot loader that is incompatible with grub 1.99. This is from ubuntu /boot/grub/grub.cfg With grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg then there is no problem booting to linux Mint on /dev/sd8 I am sorry fore this error bug report. Thanks for pointing that out. I must say that the syntax in Ubuntu is simpler ( update-grub). (In reply to comment #2) > I must say that the syntax in Ubuntu is simpler ( update-grub). Ok, so when we get to the root cause it was really a duplicate of Bug 740953 - RFE: Provide command to easily update grub.cfg ;-) *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 740953 *** |
Description of problem: After instaling Linux Mint 11 to /dev/sdb8 and runing grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg then it is not bossible to boot to Linux Mint 11 from F16. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): grub2-1.99-6.fc16.x86_64 How reproducible: always ( I belive ) Steps to Reproduce: 1. innstall Linux Mint 11 to /dev/sdb8 2. grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg in F16 3. boot and using from F14 title Fedora F16 root (hd0,9) kernel /boot/grub2/core.img boot 4. Scelect menuentry "linux (on /dev/sdb8)" Actual results: balnk serean Expected results: to boo into linux mint Additional info: This is possuble with unbuntu 11.04 agter using update-grub There is wrong uuid in F16 menuentry. It is right in unbuntu 11.04 See result from blkid below Fedora F16 form /boot/grub2/grub.cfg menuentry "linux (on /dev/sdb8)" --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os { insmod part_msdos insmod ext2 set root='(hd1,msdos8)' search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root 4b20feaf-9cf7-49b2-896d-94602ce1cded linux /boot/vmlinuz BOOT_IMAGE=linux root=UUID=4b20feaf-9cf7-49b2-896d-94602ce1cded resume=/dev/vg_flokid/lv_swap splash=silent vga=788 initrd (hd1,7)/boot/initrd.img } ubuntu 11.04 form /boot/grub/grub.cfg menuentry "Linux Mint 11, 2.6.38-8-generic (/dev/sdb8) (on /dev/sdb8)" --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os { insmod part_msdos insmod ext2 set root='(/dev/sdb,msdos8)' search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root 0a9a63db-a434-42e9-9446-fc45776f4d4c linux /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.38-8-generic root=UUID=0a9a63db-a434-42e9-9446-fc45776f4d4c ro quiet splash vt.handoff=7 initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.38-8-generic } [floki@F16tc2 ~]$ blkid /dev/sda1: LABEL="tonl" UUID="ca6b045e-79a6-446f-877b-665065cf7736" SEC_TYPE="ext2" TYPE="ext3" /dev/sdb11: LABEL="Slilaz" UUID="796537e4-fa90-4400-9e19-cf7e92c79a6e" SEC_TYPE="ext2" TYPE="ext3" /dev/sdb12: LABEL="DL" UUID="900b7d34-f374-4e50-9e29-e003133b9a16" SEC_TYPE="ext2" TYPE="ext3" /dev/sdb13: LABEL="unity" UUID="0e85be6f-4c74-432e-aa35-d16dba2e991e" SEC_TYPE="ext2" TYPE="ext3" /dev/sdb14: LABEL="_Fedora-16-Beta-" UUID="da331b1e-9ac4-4613-a110-88c6a28bf97f" TYPE="ext4" /dev/sdb15: UUID="f2158159-0bc6-43de-abfa-30182c1b018d" TYPE="ext4" /dev/sdb2: LABEL="F14" UUID="72a4b3b4-0192-4ab2-990c-f1d7de5b74dc" TYPE="ext4" /dev/sdb3: UUID="6160908b-a3ef-438f-87bc-ae58ed6e9745" TYPE="ext4" /dev/sdb5: LABEL="Fedora-13-x86_64" UUID="7ae5713c-a37d-4839-b745-d09bcad72068" TYPE="ext4" /dev/sdb6: LABEL="F15" UUID="857f46f6-4201-4c27-952f-4c71c236cbb9" TYPE="ext4" /dev/sdb7: LABEL="UB1104" UUID="38b20bcf-26f5-49d9-bb36-f1ce3bb7b558" TYPE="ext4" /dev/sdb8: LABEL="Mandriva" UUID="0a9a63db-a434-42e9-9446-fc45776f4d4c" TYPE="ext4" /dev/sdb9: LABEL="deb6" UUID="e3dd4357-4194-4904-b942-eca9855a2c2c" TYPE="ext4" /dev/sdc2: UUID="78bf8be7-ad11-41e8-8899-b2c0c6becf31" TYPE="ext4" /dev/sdc3: UUID="gdFPcE-gGkV-oHEe-xVP1-5OE9-Fl0t-dr1fid" TYPE="LVM2_member" /dev/sdb16: UUID="d3f0ecc7-1e00-4164-987b-59eb36369dbf" TYPE="ext4" /dev/sdb17: UUID="f9be13a9-433e-480e-8905-ec4f42d17d28" TYPE="swap" /dev/mapper/VolGroup-lv_home: UUID="5117fec5-e101-4911-9ea3-c5653fc473e9" TYPE="ext4" /dev/mapper/VolGroup-lv_root: UUID="4247d989-5af1-4a21-91e7-8afe7b37d993" TYPE="ext4" /dev/sdb1: UUID="90c52514-333f-450a-9d86-8620e24b8482" TYPE="swap" /dev/sdb10: LABEL="_Fedora-16-Beta-" UUID="e0d4f83b-e85f-404b-a43f-441e8cb6cd25" TYPE="ext4" /dev/mapper/VolGroup-lv_swap: UUID="9a405900-c54a-43ae-8f25-17cc13c6e6d8" TYPE="swap" [floki@F16tc2 ~]$
