Creating new grub.cfg with KDE 4.9.x [Solved]

[sabayonino]

I see Ubuntu and chakra Linux distribution and MS-W

Where did you install bootloader ? MBR or into sabayon partition ?
Wich distribution manage grub ?

If the "first" grub was managed from ubuntu or Chakra , you can update grub from therew

If you want to manage grub into MBR form sabayon you can install grub from sabayon (from Live Session or chrooted system)

Hallo together ... finally I've got a new fine working Grub2... I will mark it as [Solved].
To answer yor question, Sabayonino, I created my last grub.cfg with the Sabayon partition as root partition.
This was possible to enter after I entered /dev/sda7 as root partition, when I received the error:
'Can' find block device .'
And... It is NOT possible to have access to SL partition, when I renew the Grub from Ubuntu partition.
Btw. Chakra is completely obsolete.
So, the solution was to boot SL X partition with Kernel 3.5, which I could do because I had a backup of an old working grub.cfg. And then I needed to REINSTALL GRUB2 with Rigo.
That was the condition, which seems to clean my /etc/default/grub, I assume.
Finally then I did:

Code: Select all

grub2-install /dev/sda
grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg


But, though I've a new working grub2, I still have the problem to make start KDE (xdm) with Kernel 3.6 because of a missing consolekit, which is not installed in 3.6. I don't know why...

Anyway, thank you for your help. The excurses (links) to understand and install the Grub2 may be interesting, but I'm honest, too much confusing. So, I'm glad that a clean Reinstall of Grub 2.00 solved my problem.

very well

PS : copying grub.cfg doesn't solve 'cause this file is generated from some scripts in /etc/grub.d folder. It will be overwritten every time you update grub with "grub2-mkconfig ...."

You've installed grub on MBR (/dev/sda) and i think this read all new UUID partition and fix some inconsistence somewhere ...

It was so simple
