Hi,
I'm trying to install ubuntu 10.04 twice on a computer with two harddrives.
Both ubuntu's and swap installed on the first drive, and both home partitions on the second one. Here is how i tried it using g-parted first:
Sda1 = ext4 36Gb ( / for ubuntu-en ) prim. partition
Sda2 = ext4 36Gb ( / for ubuntu-nl ) prim. partition
Sda3 = swap ( one swap for both OS )
the second drive formatted as a extended partition, with three logical stations:
Sdb1 = ext4 30 Gb ( home for ubuntu-en )
Sdb2 = ext4 24 Gb ( home for ubuntu-nl )
Sdb3 = NTSF 22 Gb ( not sure what ;-) )
first installed ubuntu-en
second installed ubuntu-nl
When i try to boot, only ubuntu-nl is available, it is not possible to
start ubuntu-en. Ubuntu-en just likes disappeared.
sudo os-prober en sudo update-grub didn't change anything.
linux2-nl@linux-dualboot:~$ grep menuentry /boot/grub/grub.cfg
menuentry 'Ubuntu, met Linux 2.6.32-21-generic' --class ubuntu --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os {
menuentry 'Ubuntu, met Linux 2.6.32-21-generic (herstelmodus)' --class ubuntu --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os {
menuentry "Memory test (memtest86+)" {
menuentry "Memory test (memtest86+, serial console 115200)" {
menuentry "Ubuntu, with Linux 2.6.32-21-generic (on /dev/sda1)" {
menuentry "Ubuntu, with Linux 2.6.32-21-generic (recovery mode) (on /dev/sda1)" {
Just want one stable ubuntu, and one to play around with. And both their home partition stay safely on the second drive.
Is there someone out here who see what i do wrong?
many thanks in advance,
heian
