bigjohn Posted May 30, 2005 Report Share Posted May 30, 2005 (edited) When I installed this 2005LE I just told the installer to go use the "usual" places i.e. /dev/hda1 = /boot, /dev/hda2 = /swap, /dev/hda3 = /root and /dev/hda4 = /home. Last night I was trying to point someone in the right direction about grub, and when I went to find my grub.conf, I couldn't find it. Checking in the /boot gives me this, [root@johnspc john]# ls /bootboot.0300 initrd-2.6.11-6mdk.img map System.map@ vmlinuz-2.6.11-6mdk config@ initrd.img@ message@ System.map-2.6.11-6mdk config-2.6.11-6mdk kernel.h@ message-graphic uk.klt grub/ kernel.h-2.6.11-6mdk message-text vmlinuz@ [root@johnspc john]# ls /boot/grub device.map fat_stage1_5 install.sh.old* menu.lst reiserfs_stage1_5 stage2_eltorito xfs_stage1_5 device.map.old ffs_stage1_5 iso9660_stage1_5 menu.lst.old stage1 ufs2_stage1_5 e2fs_stage1_5 install.sh* jfs_stage1_5 minix_stage1_5 stage2 vstafs_stage1_5 [root@johnspc john]# If I then try locate or whereis, I get this [root@johnspc john]# locate grub/boot/grub /boot/grub/iso9660_stage1_5 /boot/grub/e2fs_stage1_5 /boot/grub/fat_stage1_5 /boot/grub/ffs_stage1_5 /boot/grub/reiserfs_stage1_5 /boot/grub/jfs_stage1_5 /boot/grub/minix_stage1_5 /boot/grub/stage2_eltorito /boot/grub/stage1 /boot/grub/stage2 /boot/grub/device.map /boot/grub/ufs2_stage1_5 /boot/grub/vstafs_stage1_5 /boot/grub/xfs_stage1_5 /boot/grub/menu.lst /boot/grub/install.sh /boot/grub/device.map.old /boot/grub/menu.lst.old /boot/grub/install.sh.old /etc/webmin/grub /etc/webmin/grub/config /usr/share/man/man8/grub-md5-crypt.8.bz2 /usr/share/man/man8/grub-install.8.bz2 /usr/share/man/man8/grub-terminfo.8.bz2 /usr/share/man/man8/grub.8.bz2 /usr/share/doc/HOWTO/HTML/en/Remote-Serial-Console/configure-boot-loader-grub.html /usr/share/doc/HOWTO/HTML/en/Remote-Serial-Console/configure-kernel-grub.html /usr/share/doc/grub-doc-0.95 /usr/share/doc/grub-doc-0.95/ChangeLog /usr/share/doc/grub-doc-0.95/BUGS /usr/share/doc/grub-doc-0.95/menu.lst /usr/share/doc/grub-doc-0.95/NEWS /usr/share/doc/grub-doc-0.95/TODO /usr/share/info/grub.info.bz2 /usr/share/vim/syntax/grub.vim /usr/share/webmin/caldera/grub /usr/share/webmin/caldera/grub/images /usr/share/webmin/caldera/grub/images/icon.gif /usr/share/webmin/grub /usr/share/webmin/grub/config-coherent-linux /usr/share/webmin/grub/backup_config.pl /usr/share/webmin/grub/config /usr/share/webmin/grub/config-redhat-linux-7.2-7.4 /usr/share/webmin/grub/config-gentoo-linux /usr/share/webmin/grub/images /usr/share/webmin/grub/images/smallicon.gif /usr/share/webmin/grub/images/chain.gif /usr/share/webmin/grub/images/grub.gif /usr/share/webmin/grub/images/icon.gif /usr/share/webmin/grub/images/kernel.gif /usr/share/webmin/grub/install_check.pl /usr/share/webmin/grub/config-redhat-linux-8.0-* /usr/share/webmin/grub/config-trustix-linux /usr/share/webmin/grub/config.info /usr/share/webmin/grub/config.info.ca /usr/share/webmin/grub/config.info.de /usr/share/webmin/grub/config.info.es /usr/share/webmin/grub/config.info.ms /usr/share/webmin/grub/config.info.pl /usr/share/webmin/grub/config.info.ru_RU /usr/share/webmin/grub/config.info.ru_SU /usr/share/webmin/grub/config.info.zh_TW.Big5 /usr/share/webmin/grub/edit_global.cgi /usr/share/webmin/grub/edit_title.cgi /usr/share/webmin/grub/grub-lib.pl /usr/share/webmin/grub/index.cgi /usr/share/webmin/grub/install.cgi /usr/share/webmin/grub/lang /usr/share/webmin/grub/lang/ja_JP.euc /usr/share/webmin/grub/lang/ca /usr/share/webmin/grub/lang/de/usr/share/webmin/grub/lang/en /usr/share/webmin/grub/lang/es /usr/share/webmin/grub/lang/hu /usr/share/webmin/grub/lang/ko_KR.euc /usr/share/webmin/grub/lang/ms /usr/share/webmin/grub/lang/pl /usr/share/webmin/grub/lang/ru_RU /usr/share/webmin/grub/lang/ru_SU /usr/share/webmin/grub/lang/zh_CN /usr/share/webmin/grub/lang/zh_TW.Big5 /usr/share/webmin/grub/save_global.cgi /usr/share/webmin/grub/module.info /usr/share/webmin/grub/save_title.cgi /usr/sbin/grub-install /usr/sbin/grub /usr/sbin/grub-set-default /usr/sbin/grub-md5-crypt /usr/sbin/grub-terminfo [root@johnspc john]# and [root@johnspc john]# whereis /grub/grub.confgrub: /usr/sbin/grub /usr/share/man/man8/grub.8.bz2 [root@johnspc john]# I'm probably being really thick, but where else the hell is it likely to be? as I definitely, during install, told "it" to use grub, and it shows a perfectly normal OS choice boot dialogue screen??? regards John p.s. and yes I did have a look at the /usr/sbin/grub, but most of that file isn't humanly readable, and the bits that are, don't tell me where it might be?

devries Posted May 30, 2005 Report Share Posted May 30, 2005 /boot/grub/menu.lst That's it I believe :). You can also edit grub from the Mandriva Control Center. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigjohn Posted May 30, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2005 Cheers for that devries, that's what I was looking for! (HA! I get chided everywhere for always wanting to use GUI facilities, so it confuses the hell out of me on the odd occassions that I actually try to do stuff with CLI :D ). Again, thanks for the tip regards John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
