Chainload GRUB2 -> GRUB2?

[franzb]

Issue solved.

In order to load Grub 2 from another Grub 2 you have to use the command multiboot instead of linux or kernel or...

menuentry "sda5" {
        insmod ext2
        set root=(hd0,5)
        multiboot /boot/grub/core.img
}

Make sure to adjust the line set root=(hd0,x) to your needs, pay attention to the fact that Grub 2 starts the counting of the partitions with 1, unlike Grub's 0.

Good info - thanks!

This will come in handy in the near future, as Linux evolves into quasi-Windows operating environment.

I have found NOwhere on the web the correct syntax for this task - after MUCH searching, and Trial and Error.

Judging by the number of hits, this might be worthy of a blog page, IMO. In the meantime, I'll link your solution into OP. If you blog it also, PM me the weblink. Or re-write into a new cleaned up post, and mods can delete this one.
