I'm trying to set up Parsix on a system that I already have grub set up the way I want. As such, I want to chainload into Parsix grub, but I have installed 3 times on 2 different machines, and every time, although I select to install grub to partition, and it gives me no errors that it failed, when I attempt to chainload, I get that there is no grub installed on that partition.
Does this not work, or is there something special about it. On the one machine, it's installing Parsix on /dev/sda8, on the other it's installing it on /dev/sda3. |

Go to the partition that installed Parsix on it.
See is there any thing in /boot/grub folder? |

| Yes, I'm installing grub onto the / partition, so all the files are there. It just doesn't see that it's INSTALLED into the partition. |

try the Ubuntu link in this post it may help you solve the problem, I chain load parsix but I still use grub1 so it will be interesting to see the outcome to this problem. http://www.parsix.org/html/PNphpBB2-vie ... .html#5046
The entries for grub2 are here /etc/defaults/grub
you also need to look at /etc/grub.d as well.
Here is another grub link http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p= ... ostcount=1 |

Yes, I've read all those before during my trials of learning grub2 when Debian sid then squeeze made the switch. Grub files are properly configured. grub.cfg is right. Grub is simply NOT INSTALLING. If I do a grub-install (hd0) it installs. If I do a grub-install (hd0,3) to install to the first sector of /dev/sda3, it says it succeeds, but upon rebooting, it is not installed. As far as I can tell, it is an issue with the version of grub2 that Parsix uses, as swapping files around, I was actually able to install grub by copying the Parsix files over to Debian (which is also running grub2), then doing a grub-install (hd0,3) using Parsix information, then putting back my Debian files and redoing a grub-install (hd0) to put it back the way it should be. It then chainloads perfectly correctly, which means the issue has got to be something with the version Parsix has installed.
If it matters, my Debian install is a fully updated Debian Squeeze. |
