Hello everyone!
I'm currently running the XFCE Spin of Fedora 15 (Xedora, as I like to call it (; ) on 64 bit,
so sometimes I need a 32 bit environment to try stuff out.
I recently installed Linux Mint on a partition formatted to btrfs,
and this is where my problems start, as I have no idea how to add this installation to my
existing GRUB configuration.
The grub.cfg on the Mint partition looks like this (GRUB2 btw.):
Code:
#
# DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE
#
# It is automatically generated by grub-mkconfig using templates
# from /etc/grub.d and settings from /etc/default/grub
#

save_env prev_saved_entry

fi
function savedefault {
if [ -z "${boot_once}" ]; then
saved_entry="${chosen}"
save_env saved_entry
fi
}

I have absolutely no experience with GRUB2 whatsoever,
as I find it way more cumbersome than legacy.
I tried deducing a legacy entry that looks like this:
Code:
title Mint32
root (hd0,5)
kernel /@/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.38-8-generic-pae ro root=UUID=da554af8-f0e4-473e-8885-84c4ea1ea6b3 rd_NO_LUKS rd_NO_LVM rd_NO_MD rd_NO_DM LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SYSFONT=latarcyrheb-sun16 KEYTABLE=de rhgb verbose pcie_aspm=force
Although grub just gives me some kind of "coulldn't find operating system" error.
Please tell me if you need to know the exact error message.
