Grub Hard Drive Mapping
This applies to SimplyMepis X86_64 Beta 7
Same issue as previous releases
If a user has two hard drives, and one is Linux and the other (is the other Redmond OS)
the Grub created this script :
title Windows at sdb1
rootnoverify (hd1,0)
chainloader +1
the correct Grub script to actually boot this OS is :
title Windows at sdb1
rootnoverify (hd1,0)
makeactive
map (hd0) (hd1)
map (hd1) (hd0)
chainloader +1
Now Ubuntu, recognizes and creates correct Grub for in this instance two Hard Drives.
For me no problem, I am extremely comfortable in editing /boot/grub/menu.lst
For newbies, it would create a problem, they can't boot into their other OS.
As long as I talk about subject of Grub, what about better OS detections.
Talk later. good evening to all.
