Grub problem
Hello all.
I installed Debian, but the installer failed to install grub.
I also have Ubuntu, so I installed grub manually by chrooting to the Debian partition.The two systems are installed on separate disks.
Debian is installed on a SATA disk.I didn't have a Sata controller on the motherboard so I had used a PCI SATA card.My bios can't boot on that disk (not sure why).
My only option to boot Debian is trough Ubuntu's grub.So I copied the two entries from Debian's menu.lst to Ubuntu's,but when I select Debian in the menu I get an error: "Could not mount selected partition" (or something similar).I've also tried reinstalling grub from Rescue mode on the Debian DVD, but no luck.
The two menu.lst entries:
title Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.24-1-686
root (hd0,1)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.24-1-686 root=UUID=5dd1a349-c311-40ca-82f4-a7a39ca134a3 ro
initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.24-1-686
title Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.24-1-686 (single-user mode)
root (hd0,1)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.24-1-686 root=UUID=5dd1a349-c311-40ca-82f4-a7a39ca134a3 ro single
initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.24-1-686
I tried changing the UUID to /dev/sda2 but still no luck.
I'm sure that Debian is installed on that partition (I know from fdisk -l in Ubuntu).
Ubuntu is installed on (hd0,2).
Please help.Thanks.
