I installed Debian on a partition today (seen in bold at bottom of this post)
My current boot partition is about 90mb partition at front of the second hard disk, set up by Ubuntu.
the debian kernels are not put into grub.lst after $ sudo update-grub
moving from grub to grub2 and back to grub2 obviously has no effects either.
I should be able to boot into debian by the correct commands in grub. But it always says there is no partition by the name of (cannot remember... this (hd1,4) might be an example) or it complains about it doesnt find the files (Im guessing the kernel).
I've tried uuid but it was to wail.
on my /boot partition (hd1,1) I think

I did not install grub on debian as you can see, but I got all what is needed to add to my /boot partition I would have thought
Code:
$ ls /media/debian/boot
config-2.6.26-2-amd64 System.map-2.6.26-2-amd64
initrd.img-2.6.26-2-amd64 vmlinuz-2.6.26-2-amd64

Code:
$ sudo fdisk -l
