Hi from greece.
I'm troubled about the semantics of the --root-device parameter in
grup-setup and --prefix in grub-mkimage. For time being i have the
impression that they both are related with
what files/dirs core.img will have access to, so the latter could
override the first.
thanks.
ps:The context of my question is trying to set up a dedicated grub2
partition , and
having troubles making installed grub (i used grub-install
--root-directory=/mnt/grub2 /dev/hda )
find the grub.cfg i had in grub2 partition /dev/hda2.
I hope I understand you correctly. You have a dedicated grub2 partition
but with a wrong/missing/bad grub.cfg?
I had a similar dedicated grub2 partition by using only this command
grub-install --root-directory=/media/Booto /dev/sda
where Booto is label of dedicated partition.
There is no grub.cfg and I created one and copied to
/media/Booto/boot/grub/ taking care that UUID and set root is of that
Booto partition and not of the copied grub OS. (you can remove the
function recordfail, savedefault and others, and modify gfxmode, locale
if you want). Also if there is new version of grub, do the grub-install
--root-directory command again and you will have a new version without
affecting the grub.cfg.
Hope this helps.
