Hi all,
I've noticed a thread about problems with Karmic Netbook and Grub2 (started by Fintan http://kubuntuforums.net/forums/inde...opic=3105278.0).
I had a similar problem with 64-bit Karmic dual-booting with 64-bit Jaunty (twin 160 Gig multi-partitioned hard-drives with some shared partitions for data and backups). I accidentally over-wrote the (hd0) grub entry from Jaunty when I installed Karmic. I corrected that following Rog131's excellent guide to "all things grub" to restore my Jaunty GRUB entry in (hd0). But when I re-installed Karmic Alpha3 and instructed the loader to install the Karmic GRUB into (hd1,4) - which is the root partition Karmic is installed to - I cannot find any menu.lst to copy from so that the relevant entries can be added to the Jaunty GRUB menu.lst entry in (hd0). Tried Configfile and Chainload; no luck
Re-installed Karmic with its GRUB entry in (hdo) and can select either Karmic or Jaunty but if you try to use KGrubEditor to change any entries it borks because it still cannot find menu.lst.
Is this a bug or a temporary problem which will resolve in time? And what is that small minix partition doing? Where did it come from?
Any explanations welcome!!
