View Full Version : [ubuntu] grub menu lost after dual booting lynx with natty

i have lucid lnyx installed as my main system and added natty on a seperate drive. after installing, the new grub detected lynx & i was able to boot into each without any problem. after doing some tweaking on natty (changed run level), it didn't boot properly so i reverted to the old config via rescue disk. after rebooting, the old grub menu didn't show & it loaded lynx automatically.

i tried the suggestion from another post (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1280943) changed the hidden menu and updated grub but it didn't detect natty (below).

it's now working! \\:D/ managed to load natty by setting the bios to boot from the second hdd instead (got the idea from an another thread -> here (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1760065)).

any suggestions for a better or proper fix? again, any input would be highly appreciated!
