Bug#587397: grub

2011-02-28 Thread me
As with the others, grub recognized my other OS (windows XP professional)
when I installed 6.0.0 squeeze (stable) i386 I downloaded, but when I booted
only Linux ( Linux safe mode) were listed and would boot.

I have two hard drives: listed as *sda* I have windows on (and did not
change it's partition table), and a bare new hard drive listed as *sdb* is
where I partitioned/formatted using guided partitioning with LVM's third
option (home, root, swap, temp, usr) and installed Debian.  I only installed
the defined collections Graphical desktop environment  standard
utilities.

It was strange when Debian listed the two hard drives as SCSI1 (sda), and
SCSI3 (sdb).  My system has only IDE channels:  IDE channel 0 Master - old
HD with windows, IDE channel 1 Master- DVD drive,  IDE channel 2 Master-
the new HD (SATA drive connection).

Others have said they corrected the GRUB problem by running update-grub.
How do I do that?  When I tried update-grub I got a on such command
message.

Stan.

It has to be as root (so login as root, or use 'su -' to become root.)
