I am running Kubuntu Karmic beta, fully upgraded twice a day.

Description:Ubuntu
I have confirmed that grub-pc did not recognize usage of the /boot partition
for the other Linux install. I was able to boot my Jaunty install after
changing the UUID in the search option and modifying the kernel and initial RAM
disk file names to be relative to /boot:
102,104c102,104
I may have run into the same or a similar bug - After installing Karmic
in a new partition, I can no longer boot Jaunty. I have described this
in http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1284332 and will attach
relevant legacy and grub2 config files below.

Thanks. The problem here is that the initrd line is wrong. One of the
changes in GRUB 2 from GRUB Legacy is that it fixed what's now
considered a design error: GRUB Legacy numbered partitions from 0, but
GRUB 2 numbers them from 1. This means that you have initrd
(hd0,2)/boot/initrd.img when it
Thanks for your prompt response. How do you work aroud this.Grub legacy
allowed you to edit menue first but grub 2 will not allow you to edit

A workaround might be to edit PCLinuxOS's grub menu.lst file to remove
the pointless (hd0,2) from the initrd line. There's no particularly
straightforward Ubuntu-side workaround for this yet unfortunately.

Please attach /boot/grub/grub.cfg from Ubuntu, and also the output of
'sudo parted -l' so that we can see what your partition layout looks
like. If possible, identify for us on the 'sudo parted -l' output which
partition contains PCLinuxOS.
