Grub Menu Help

Hi
I have a system currently running with a RAID 1 pair of hard disks running Solaris 10 X86. These are located in slots 0 and 1 and are currently bootable. I would like to add another RAID 1 pair of disks also running Solaris 10 X86 to slots 2 and 3 and boot to them also. My aim is to have a dual boot system running 2 instances of Solaris 10, separate RAID 1 pair disks for each OS instance. I have updated the menu.lst on the 1st pair of RAID 1 disk to incorporate the below:
title Solaris 10 5/08 1st-RAID1-PAIR
kernel /platform/i86pc/multiboot
module /platform/i86pc/boot_archive
title Solaris 10 5/08 2nd-RAID1-PAIR
root (hd2,0,a)
kernel /platform/i86pc/multiboot
module /platform/i86pc/boot_archive
When booting I see the option to select the 2nd-RAID1-PAIR of disks in the grub menu, but I cannot boot the 2nd Raid 1 PAIR. If I change the root line to (hd1,0,a) or hd0,0,a) then it boots the 1st-RAID1-PAIR. Can anyone spread some light on what I am doing wrong or what the HD value should be?

I am currently using an Arch grub legacy on the mbr to boot 2 grub2 systems.
Here is the menu.lst entry for my new arch install, which uses systemd and grub2:
title Arch Linux 1
root (hd1,0)
kernel /grub/i386-pc/core.img
That install has a separate /boot partition which is the first partition on my second drive, sdb1 or (hd1,0) in grub legacy-speak. Without the separate boot partition, the entry would use
kernel /boot/grub/i386-pc/core.img
This menu.lst entry boots Fedora 17 (also grub2 & systemd) which is all on a single partition at sdb6, or (hd1,5) in grub legacy's terms:
title Fedora 17
root (hd1,5)
chainloader +1
Both of these methods work. The Fedora entry works across kernel updates, not sure about the core.img method as there hasn't been a kernel update there yet.

    Hi,
    I'm trying to do a live upgrade from S10 u6 to u7.
    The machine is a Sun v20z (which is an x64 box).

    What happens when you create a new BE using the current BE without any changes (just making a bootable copy of the current BE)? What is the results of cat /rpool/boot/grub/menu.lst? If you do a lufslist bootenvname, do all of the indicated filesystems actually exist?

  • [SOLVED]Unable to install grub "couldn't find /mnt/boot/grub/menu.lst"

    Ok so I was trying to install windows after I had arch installed, used an ubuntu cd to use gparted to create a partition, tried to go to the windows installation but it would endlessly send me back to restart the installation even after succesfully writting all files...
    So now I decided to not install it, went back into ubuntu/gparted, deleted the partition and rejoined the space with my main arch partition and then selected the "boot" flag to boot...
    Cannot boot, grub its still on /boot/ but the MBR its obviously tempered with by windows ( which coincidentally couldn't even find itself after writing mbr to its liking....*sigh* ).
    So I try to use my arch install cd to reinstall grub but i get this:
    "couldn't find /mnt/boot/grub/menu.lst is grub installed?"
    I tried to use the select packages thing to make sure the cd is mounted and mounts fine but it keeps getting me that error message. I managed to boot to my system just fine with arch root=/dev/sda1 but obviosly the kernell does not has my nvidia module which means I can't get into x which means i am using links and since my grub is not loaded i can't even get framebuffer so this is rather inconvenient.
    Im sure im missing a very simple and stupid thing but im so annoyed my brain must be saying "ok im done somebody else figure it out". I still have a backup copy of my grub menu.lst I made before. Do I just delete /bood/grub/ and try again? Am I missing something on the install procedure to be able to rewrite grub? Can I just do it from the command line or with pacman? Any help appreciate it thanks.

    If you can get into your arch and cli then you should just be able to reinstall grub with
    install-grub /dev/sda
    or reinstall grub with
    pacman -S grub
    if the package is messed up or missing.

  • No GRUB menu when booting from USB stick with new archlinux

    Hi,
    I want to try archlinux but I do not have a full backup of my current system right now, such that I do not dare to install archlinux on it. I decided to install it on a USB drive and followed the Beginners Guide considering the hints for installations on USB sticks.
    The first issue that I had was that I was not able to to install gurb and it complained that no boot partition was available. I started from scratch again but this time choose the partition type EF02  (bios boot partition) instead of the default 0700 (I only have one partition on the stick). This time everything went fine until I rebooted from the USB stick. Instead of a grub menu I got:
    GRUB GRUB GRUB GRUB GRUB GRUB
    and nothing happened.
    I booted again from the boot cd with archlinux and did the following to examine the grub installation again:
    mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt
    arch-chroot /mnt /bin/bash
    grub-install --recheck --boot-directory=/boot /dev/sdb
    >Installation finished. No error reported.
    grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
    >Generating grub.cfg
    >Found linux image: /boot/vmlinux-linux
    >Found linux image: /boot/initramfs-linux.img
    > WARNING: Failed to connect to lvmetad: No such file or directory. Falling back to internal scanning.
    > No volume groups found
    >Found LMDE MATE Edition (1) on /dev/sda1
    >done
    I don't know what the grub-mkconfig output should look like...
    Do you have any idea how I can fix this?
    Thanks in advance!

    Welcome to Arch!
    EF02 is definitely not the type code you want. That is used for a small partition with no file system which grub needs on GPT disks because it cannot fit into the space on disk. You don't install anything into it and it is 1-2MB.
    Perhaps https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Usb_installation would help?

  • How to reinstall Solaris Grub menu

    I have a dual boot PC with Solaris 10 and Windows Vista. I installed Windows Vista and the Solaris 10. So I got a boot menu (which I assume is a grub menu) to make a selection of the OS I want to boot on my system.
    Unfortunately I lost the grub for Solaris. Now I can boot only on Windows. How do I recover the previously installed grub?
    PS: Steps to do this will be helpful.

    You need at least a bootable Solaris Install CD/DVD. Go to command line option rather than install option. Type 'grub' and enter
    # grub here you type 'c' to get to 'grub' command prompt
    grub> find /boot/grub/stage1
    (hd0,1,a) Note: This is the answer from grub where solaris boot partition resides - number may be different on your system+
    grub> root (hd0,1,a)
    filesystem is ufs, partition type 0xbf
    grub> setup (hd0)
    Checking if “boot/grub/stage1” exists...yes
    Checking if “boot/grub/stage2” exists...yes
    Checking if “boot/grub/e2fs_stage1_5” exists...yes
    Running “embed /boot/grub/e2fs_stage1_5(hd0)”...16 sectors
    are embedded... succeeded
    Running “install /boot/grub/stage1(hd0) (hd0)1+16p (hd0,1,a)

    Done.

  • Installing Arch but keeping another OS's grub menu

    I installed Arch with the help of the beginners' guide on a 'spare' partition on my machine, which also have another 4 OSs installed. As I wanted one of the others' grub menu to be the 'active' one I skipped the grub installation part - in fear of messing up the grub menu, and hoping that the update-grub command (from within the 'active' OS) would pick Arch up.
    This it didn't and I assume it is because I DIDN'T install grub in Arch (?) but could someone just tell me how I can safely do that but still keeping the other OS's grub as the main one.
    At one point in the guide it says to install grub in /dev/sda; would I be safe if I installed it in /dev/sda10 (which is the Arch partition) instead?
    Will I have to go through the whole installation process again? Or can I start Arch up (perhaps with the help of the CD?) and 'jump in' and carry on where I left off?

    I dual boot Arch and Ubuntu. I did NOT install Grub from Arch Install. After installing Arch, I rebooted Ubuntu and updated GRUB. Then I changed the default OS to Arch from /etc/default/grub.
    My rationale behind this was Ubuntu being a 6 monthly release compared to Rolling Arch, I had to install and reinstall ubuntu every 6 months and I didn't want any mishaps with Grub during this.
    You probably forgot to update grub in the distro that is handling your Boots. If updating Grub does not show Arch then mount the Arch Partition and then update grub. [However the Grub version in Ubuntu 13.04 has fixed this and I don't have to mount Arch any more].
    EDIT: By the way, not installing Grub means that Grub is not installed in the MBR. All the necessary files required to boot arch will be there in the Arch install.

  • GRUB menu only shows memtest

    While trying to deal with the Intel microcode change, I seem to have screwed up grub. I thought I followed the wiki instructions, but now when I boot, I just get the grub menu with only memtest listed.
    Is there a way to fix it from the grub command line? I can't find my boot CD, and I don't have a handy way of burning another.
    Thanks for any help!

    Hi morganmay,
    The error you see should not prevent your system from booting (read the note here)
    However, when you used grub-mkconfig from the Arch install disk, did you remember to mount your partitions and to chroot into your system?

  • How to stop the boot process after the GRUB menu?

    Hello there.
    I am getting an error message in the boot process, after the GRUB menu, but I can't read completely the message because it is shown too fast. So, how can I stop the process when I see the error message, for writing down it?
    Thanks in advance.

    I didn't try this before, but if you use systemd, you may want to try systemd.confirm_spawn to invoke interactive booting process, so you can start the services one by one manually therefore locate the one throwing out error message.
    It is explained in the systemd manual:

  • [SOLVED - Doh!] New kernel doesn't show up in grub menu

    I've decided to play around with a new kernel, so I followed the instructions in the wiki for building the linux-pf kernel (ie, used the AUR). Although it doesn't include this step, I also ran grub-mkconfig. I can see a new Linux kernel in my /boot/grub/grub.cfg file.
    However, it doesn't show up in the Grub menu when I reboot. I don't see any other step in the wiki, for either linux kernels or grub. What am I missing?

    @op - If you see it in /boot/grub/grub.cfg and that is the file grub is reading, you will see it when grub goes live.  Do you have a separate /boot partition and did you have it mounted when you updated the config?  I'm guess you didn't and your config went on the root file system under /boot rather than to a mounted filesystem mount in /boot.

    ALL_kver="/boot/vmlinuz-linux"
    does, the presets looked a bit different for kernel26 http://projects.archlinux.org/svntogit/ … l26.preset
    I'll try to boot without that line. I noticed that too.
    As for installing the kernel from [testing], I get this:

    Should I 'Pacman Rdd kernel26-headers', or is that a bad idea?
