However, despite making sure I followed every step correctly, when I select the Linux Mint menu item I created in the Windows 7 boot menu, I don't get the correct GRUB 2 menu. If you had done everything correctly according to the tutorial up until that point, selecting Mint in the Windows boot menu should bring you to the GRUB 2 boot menu, and from there you can select Mint and boot into Linux without a problem.

Nobody has answered me yet, so wanting an answer faster, I'm turning to the forumsĮssentially the tutorial has you install Mint on other partitions and then use a tool in Windows called EasyBCD to add a menu entry for Mint in the Windows 7 boot menu. If you scroll down to the comments section you can see I left a comment related to this issue as "Jason S". it would be a pain to reconfigure all that and certainly take to long for my likeing.So I recently tried installing Linux Mint 13 alongside my previous install of Windows 7 by following this fantastic tutorial at :
Grub4dos boot flag missing drivers#
It is ok for a stock system, but I compiled a custom kernel, compiled one wire drivers, confiured cacti, muthtv, drivers for my usb tv card, configuration for my remote, vmware, samba, custom inity scripts etc. That drives me nuts since this should not changed regardless of hd numbering. This is working when I have the old drive hd0 in, when I replace it withe the new one grub tells me that it can onot find /dev/disk/by-id/scsi-SATA_WDC_WD3200AAKS-_WD-WCAPZ1701835-part2 anymore. I will rename all other boot related files (initrd and the kernel) from hd0 to figure out what is still refering to hd0.Īt the time the information in menu.lst are read the stage1 is already loaded. Read the stage2 and menuefile from hd1 (I nenamed the files on hd0)įor some reason when I replace hd0 it will not work anymore. So when I have a problem with /dev/sdb2 I just boot of the other hd with the last backup on it. Mount /dev/sda2 as /root_back, run a nighly rsync across after shutting down a few deamons.
I want to be able to boot of /dev/sda2 and /dev/sdb2 independently. So now the /dev/sdb2 can bee seen as /dev/sda2 I select the other menue entry which pointing to root=/dev/sda2 Which is wiered because that HD is still in the system. Now I get Grub and I can select the boot image BUT it says it can not find "root=/dev/disk/by-id/scsi SATA_WDC_WD3200AAKS-_WD-WCAPZ1701835-part2" I pluged in the replacement hd (no partitions brand new) I do have 4 more hd so the MBR could have been installed on one of them, non of them has a boot flag set. it seem that the install on /dev/sdb has not compleated corectly or the device map is not right. Running "install -stage2=/boot/grub/stage2 /boot/grub/stage1 (hd1) (hd1)1+15 p (hd1,1)/boot/grub/stage2 /boot/grub/menu.lst". Running "embed /boot/grub/e2fs_stage1_5 (hd1)".

#Don't change this comment - YaST2 identifier: Original name: linux-2.6.25.20-0.1-Stefan2# Hd0(/dev/sda1) started failing so I moved my /root to hd1(dev/sdb1). I am trying to change my boot device from hd0 to hd1.
