Wait a minute. It did recognise it; it just didn't build a bootmenu stanza. root@notlookedfor:/etc/default# update-grub Generating grub configuration file ... Found theme: /usr/share/desktop-base/grub-themes/desktop-grub-theme/theme.txt Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-3.16.0-4-686-pae Found initrd image: /boot/initrd.img-3.16.0-4-686-pae Found unknown Linux distribution on /dev/mapper/jessie-ascii--root done Doing a diff on he grub config with a backup copy shows only one added blak line. And when I reboot, it show me only two options. Devuan gbu/linux and the advanced options for devuan gnu/linux. It does not make a boot menu item for the so-called unknown Linux distribution (which is a copy of the one it did make boot menus for). Why does it not recognise another instance of Devuan? I'm going to look for differences between the two. Maybe starting with /etc/fstab. -- hendrik _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list [email protected] https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
