[Solved] Grub2 some entries does not show up frugal install

[nooby]

PCLOS boot on grub1 so maybe not polite to ask here sorry!

I have both frugal install on USB flash mem 4GB and
frugal install using grub2 on ext3 formatted internal hd
on sda1 where I happen to have Bodhi due to it is lean
on my 512MB RAM old Dell Dimension 4600 Desktop.

Now to the title.
Grub2 some entries does not show up frugal install
Seems that grub2 has some kind of built in "check"
of code errors among menuentry one make.

If it don't like it then it does not show it.

I get back with example from the other computer.
I will log out and in again

okay now I am in PCLOS on Dell and wil ltry o find the grub.conf

Code: [Select]

menuentry "pclinuxos-phoenix-2012-02.iso" {
 linux (hd0,1)/isolinux/vmlinuz BOOT_IMAGE=LiveCD livecd=livecd initrd=initrd.gz bootfrom=/dev/sda1 acpi=on fstab=rw,auto
 initrd (hd0,1)/isolinux/initrd.gz
 }


menuentry "pclinuxos-phoenix-2012-02.iso" {
recordfail
insmod ext2
set root='(hd0,1)'
search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set xxxxxxx
 linux (hd0,1)/isolinux/vmlinuz root=UUID=xxxxxxx BOOT_IMAGE=LiveCD livecd=livecd initrd=initrd.gz bootfrom=/dev/sda1 acpi=on fstab=rw,auto
 initrd (hd0,1)/isolinux/initrd.gz
 }


the first one is seen but fail to boot
second one is seen and boot. I use it now.

But many many times several entries is not seen at all
despite being there.

Does any of you have a clue why them are invisible and
what can I change so they get visible?

Code: [Select]


echo "Adding PCLinuxOS to GRUB 2"
menuentry 'PCLinuxOS (frugal on sda1)' {
 recordfail
 insmod ext2
 set root='(hd0,1)'
 search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set 4d28a6d7-4764-4da0-9387-b635b0415c0e
 linux /PCLinuxOS/isolinux/vmlinuz
 initrd /PCLinuxOS/isolinux/initrd.gz
}

echo "Adding PCLinuxOS to GRUB 2"
menuentry 'PCLinuxOS (frugal on sda1)' {
 recordfail
 insmod ext2
 set root='(hd0,1)'
 search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set 4d28a6d7-4764-4da0-9387-b635b0415c0e
 linux /PCLinuxOS/isolinux/vmlinuz root=/dev/sdb1 ro livecd=livecd root=/dev/rd/3 acpi=on vga=788 keyb=us vmalloc=256M nokmsboot
 initrd /PCLinuxOS/isolinux/initrd.gz
}
  
These are not seen at all but they are there in the grub.conf

No offense intended, but seriously, we do not use grub2. We choose to use legacy grub for a reason; mainly its simplicity of use for new users as well as seasoned veterans. If you have problems with grub2, ask your questions on the forum of the distribution that installed it. We don't support grub2 here.

Thanks yes I can see it from your point of view.
The problem for me is that they will tell me to
ask on this forum. I ahve many years of experience
they always refer to the forum for the OS one boot.

But maybe you can help me find a way to tick them
to not give their standard answer? If I never mention
PCLinuxOS then they will not know. Okay I can give it try.

I can test on Bodhi forum them use grub2.
Thanks for caring about me. I don't like grub2 either.
