## ## Start Default Options ##
## default kernel options
## default kernel options for automagic boot options
## If you want special options for specific kernels use kopt_x_y_z
## where x.y.z is kernel version. Minor versions can be omitted.
## e.g. kopt=root=/dev/hda1 ro
## kopt_2_6_8=root=/dev/hdc1 ro
## kopt_2_6_8_2_686=root=/dev/hdc2 ro
# kopt=root=UUID=2bd8650c-e304-40e6-bf06-29571284ee3d ro

## default grub root device
## e.g. groot=(hd0,0)
# groot=2bd8650c-e304-40e6-bf06-29571284ee3d

## should update-grub create alternative automagic boot options
## e.g. alternative=true

## should update-grub lock alternative automagic boot options
## e.g. lockalternative=true
## lockalternative=false

## additional options to use with the default boot option, but not with the
## alternatives
## e.g. defoptions=vga=791 resume=/dev/hda5

## Xen hypervisor options to use with the default Xen boot option
# xenhopt=

## Xen Linux kernel options to use with the default Xen boot option

## altoption boot targets option
## multiple altoptions lines are allowed
## e.g. altoptions=(extra menu suffix) extra boot options
## altoptions=(recovery) single
# altoptions=(recovery mode) single

## controls how many kernels should be put into the menu.lst
## only counts the first occurence of a kernel, not the
## alternative kernel options
## e.g. howmany=all
## howmany=7

Hi all
It looks like i'am getting no where! i believe i have two grub types, is this the problem?

=> Grub 2 is installed in the MBR of /dev/sda and looks for
(UUID=2bd8650c-e304-40e6-bf06-29571284ee3d)/boot/grub.
=> Grub 2 is installed in the MBR of /dev/sdb and looks on the same drive in
partition #1 for /boot/grub.
=> Grub 0.97 is installed in the MBR of /dev/sdc and looks on the same drive
in partition #3 for /boot/grub/stage2 and /boot/grub/menu.lst.

Now do i need the delete oneor the other ??

i would guess that grub/boot needs to be on/dev/sdb1 63 149,838,254 149,838,192 83 Linux as this would be where grub/boot should be ??

Am I correct , if so how do I do it please.
