Why are you going for so complicated solutions? All you need to do is add correct entries to /boot/grub/grub.cfg. In grub2 this is dealt a bit differently. Check the files in /etc/grub.d directory. Modify the files as appropriate and then run update-grub. Onkar -- ubuntu-in mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-in
