grub bootup

[pookito]

I am dual booting kubuntu and Sabayon Linux. I just installed Sabayon on a separate partition, and did not update the grub file. how would I go to install the necessary information back into my grub file? Please, any advice is appreciated.

Re: grub bootup

I'm assuming that Kubuntu was there first.
And that you can still boot into Kubuntu?
And that you wish to be able to boot into Sabayon?

If all that is true, then:

You need to edit the boot menu in Kubuntu to include a boot entry for Sabayon.
Unfortunately, I have not tried Sabayon, and so do not know what it's boot entry should look like (but folks on their forum should know).

However, what you can try is this:
Include in your /boot/grub/menu.lst (in Kubuntu) the following boot entry for Sabayon:

title Sabayon
root (hdx,y)
configfile /boot/grub/menu.lst

> BUT, you must know what (hdx,y) is. If you have one hard drive, then x=0. If Sabayon is on the second partition, then y=1; if it is on the third partition, then y=2; etc. (GRUB counts from zero).

> Sabayon may not call its boot menu "menu.lst"; it may call it grub.conf or something like that; in which case, you might try
configfile /boot/grub/grub.conf


When you edit /boot/grub/menu.lst, you must do so as root.
