Re: Where's the grub boot menu?
Jacob,
Is it possible that GRUB is looking for "/boot/boot/grub/menu.lst",
instead of "/boot/grub/menu.lst"? The "README" makes reference to
this when "/boot" is a separate partition.
When you ran "grub-install", did it not create a "/boot/boot/grub"
directory with a "menu.lst" template in there? If so, GRUB is
probably using that one instead of the one you've been modifying. The
"update-grub" script, unfortunately, only updates the first of
"/boot/grub" and "/boot/boot/grub" that it finds, so it won't have
touched the version that GRUB is using, if this is the case.
The only difference I see between our "menu.lst" files is that my Xen
boot stanzas have no "root" line in mine:
title Xen 3.0 running 2.6.16.2-xen-amd64-k8
kernel /xen-3.0-amd64.gz dom0_mem=262144
module /vmlinuz-2.6.16-2-xen-amd64-k8 root=/dev/mapper/main-buddharoot ro console=tty0
module /initrd.img-2.6.16-2-xen-amd64-k8
savedefault
boot
However, I doubt your problem has anything to do with problems in the
"menu.lst"---it seems pretty clear that GRUB is just failing to find
the file entirely or using a different copy.
