Wire muncher!
this is my present setup now:
/boot on hd(0,7) - boot partition
/ on hd(0,9) - root partition
and other std. linux and windows partitions.
when i installed ubuntu 7.04 my setup was like this
/boot on hd(0,8 ) - boot partition
/ on hd(0.9) - root partition
and other std. linux and windows partitions.
recently i split a fat32 partition into two using gparted from widin ubuntu and rearranged/formatted some partitions. now my setup is as shown above. everything is working fine and i face no problems as such. i updated grub and edited the entries so that it points to the correct boot partition.
problem is when ubuntu automatically runs the grub-update command (for e.g after making any changes or installing/updating the kernel/modules). when the grub update is automatically run it installs grub but it edits the menu.lst file to include the boot partition wid the old value (hd0,8 ) whereas now the boot partition is on hd(0,7). everytime this happens i hafta make sure that i manually edit the grub menu list and change hd(0,8 ) to hd(0,7) otherwise it fails to boot (of corz i can edit the command line from widin grub and correct it but i dun want this hassle). please do help me out. i did search on the net... but cudn't find anything which was productive for me.
