Dual-booting Ubuntu and Pardus with GRUB2...Pardus no show?

[Ibn Ali al-Turki]

Hello all,

I have Ubuntu 10.10 installed and used to dual-boot Fedora, but I replaced Fedora with Pardus.

After the install, I went into ubuntu, and did a sudo update-grub. It detected my Pardus 2011 install there. When I rebooted, it did not show up in my grub2 menu however. I went back to Ubuntu and did it again...then checked the grub.cfg, and it is not there. I have read that Pardus uses a grub legacy.

How can I get Pardus into my grub2 menu?

Thanks!

sudo fdisk -l

Partition table entries are not in disk order


and

update-grub

Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.35-25-generic
Found initrd image: /boot/initrd.img-2.6.35-25-generic
Found memtest86+ image: /boot/memtest86+.bin
Found Pardus 2011 (2011) on /dev/sda3


Yet after this, I go to grub.cfg, and Pardus is not there.

You could try adding a custom entry for Pardus to grub2, or use Pardus to manage boot the two OSs. The second option seems to be easier.

The solution for me was to install Pardus with it's own bootloader on it's own partition. Then just do sudo update-grub.

That's all. :)
