[SOLVED] Ubuntu on two drives one now missing vers 24-22

[Tom Atkins]

I installed HH from the DVD several months ago on my b drive (Suse 10.0 was on a) and after using it I decided to migrate everything to HH. I did that and then installed HH on the a drive intending to use it for Upgrades and other things. The install went well and it recognized my b drive as another system and added all the versions of Linux I had had in GRUB. Today I ran the updates to 24-22 on both systems. The GRUB for the original install did not update to 24-22 while the new on did add it to its part but not the original. How do I update GRUB for my original install? Here is some info on my system:

The above were run from my new system on the A drive.
I have both the Unbutu DVD and a Super GRUB CD.

Thanks for any help

I have Intrepid on the second half of my primary IDE drive and Jaunty on my first Sata drive, the computer boots from grub on the sata drive. When the kernel is updatedin Intrepid, I just paste the appropriate section in to grub on the sata drive. There is a way to chainload the kernel from another partition, but it's is one of those projects I haven't got around to yet.

Thanks a lot for your help. It worked perfectly.

[markbuntu]

chainloading is dirt simple, 3 lines at the end of menu.lst and one is a comment line. you do it like this;


# title Chainload 8.04 amd64
root (hd1)
chainloader +1

#title chainload mandriva
root (hd2)
chainloader +1


#title chainload Intrepid
root (hd3,0)
chainloader +1

Each one of these has its own grub that gets started by the chainloader, no need to change anything until you change the boot partition.
