Managing grub/menu.lst with multiple distros
Hi all,
I have been trying to find out how to get grub updated for both
Debian(Sid) and the recently installed Gutsy(pre-release). Ubuntu's
installed installed Grub on hd0 automatically without prompting and I
had to reinstall it using Debian's /boot.
Is there a way that each of them can update grub (initrd, vmlinuz,
menu.lst etc.) automatically upon a kernel upgrade? I have a feeling
that it might require sharing the /boot partition by both Debian and
Ubuntu. But is it possible, and safe? Ubuntu uses UUIDs for root= in its
boot stanza whereas Sid has the regular /dev/sda*.
Plus why can the installer only detect a Windows installation and not
other Linux distros? or does it so that Ubuntu's installer had a bug!
regards,
KS.
