xboxboy Posted October 27, 2009 Report Share Posted October 27, 2009 When I installed 2008.1 (IIRC) I had to chain load it, due to a glitch or improvement in grub. I can't remember exactly why or how I went about it. Someone will pass through here knowing how it is done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
