Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: grub2
I have three hard drives. One has Windows7 Professional - rarely used - the
second has Ubuntu 10.10 and the third is for messing about with. Each operating
system uses the whole disc.
I changed the BIOS to boot from the Messing about disc and installed Natty
alpha 1 with no problem. It works well (although lots of essential bits seem to
be missing from Unity - I am using the "Classic Desktop") but Grub shows only
the Natty installation and Windows 7 but not Ubuntu 10.10.
OS-prober does not show the other installation of Ubuntu either and running
sudo update-grub does not help.
Changing the boot disc to the Ubuntu 10.10 disc and running update-grub from
there produces a menu for all three OSs on booting from that disc but I can not
cure the problem in booting from the Natty disc.
Reinstalling Grub2 did not help.
