Branch 4 grub

[joost]

If you are allready on branch 4, wich is still in testing by the way, you might notice a grub update.

Now this version is not compatible with previous version! You need to manually install grub from the branch 4 chroot.

So right after install you can do this:

Code: Select all

# grub-install /dev/sda

if that is somehow problematic try it natively:

Code: Select all

# grub
grub> root (hd0,0)
grub> setup (hd0)

Now if you didn't do this all and reboot grub will be broken!

You can fix this by starting a liveCD/DVD and mount the / partition and then chroot in.
then take the steps above.

Do not install it from the live chroot, as it is not compatible.

In my example my MBR is first partition on the first harddisc. (hd0,0)
If you are not sure about this you can use grub to find where it is located:

Code: Select all

grub> find /boot/grub/stage1

Probably best to set it up within grub instead of using grub-install. I've seen way too many people
that have ran into problems with grub-install.
