hello friends
i have a problem in adding the suse linux boot entry which was over
written by ubuntu
intially i had win xp and then i installed open Suse 11
the grub was able to configure windows and suse 11,
then i installed ubuntu 8.10 while installing , grub detected only windows
now i want to add an entry in the Ubuntu bootloader to show Suse 11 in the
boot option
my hard disk partion table is as below
/dev/sda1 * 1 3187 25599546 7 HPFS/NTFS
/dev/sda2 3188 17680 116415022+ f W95 Ext'd (LBA)
/dev/sda5 3188 4493 10490413+ c W95 FAT32 (LBA)
Suse 11
/dev/sda6 4494 4506 104391 83 Linux /boot
/dev/sda7 4507 5812 10490413+ 83 Linux
/dev/sda8 5813 5995 1469916 82 Linux swap / Solaris
/dev/sda9 5996 7301 10490413+ 83 Linux
/dev/sda10 7302 11218 31463271 83 Linux / (root
partition)
/dev/sda11 11219 16440 41945683+ 83 Linux
ubuntu 8.10
/dev/sda12 16441 16464 192748+ 83 Linux
/dev/sda13 16465 17680 9767488+ 83 Linux
i tried mounting the suse's /boot partition /dev/sda6
and found this in the 'menu.lst' for the suse grub
title openSUSE 11.0 - 2.6.25.5-1.1
root (hd0,5)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.25.5-1.1-pae
root=/dev/disk/by-id/scsi-SATA_ST3160215AS_9RA7XBPA-part10 resume=/dev/sda8
splash=silent showopts vga=0x317
initrd /initrd-2.6.25.5-1.1-pae
and currently the grub/ of the ubuntu has...
title Ubuntu 8.10, kernel 2.6.27-7-server
uuid 0f6bed9c-7fc9-4e35-8295-61c41a634d8a
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.27-7-server
root=UUID=fb769d04-3859-46f3-a111-8b67bd3c1ada ro quiet splash
initrd /initrd.img-2.6.27-7-server
for windows
# on /dev/sda1
title Microsoft Windows XP Professional
root (hd0,0)
savedefault
makeactive
chainloader +1
how can i add an entry to the ubuntu grub so that it shows the booting
option for selecting the suse 11 also
