Mepis Grub Re-loader Work Around
For : Mepis Linux 6.5 Betas By : je.saist This guide is more of a visual bug report. In the current betas of Mepis 6.5 the reloading section for the Grub boot entry is flip flopped. What do I mean? Watch below. 1: Typical for a Guide. Starting on the LiveCD under /root  2: Mepis entry under System  3: Mepis System Assistant  4: Under the MEPIS System window.  5: To the Repair System Boot tab. We have three entries of interest here: System boot Disk: The harddrive where the Grub bootloader is located at. MEPIS Installation disk: The harddrive where MEPIS is installed at. /(root) partition: the location of the MEPIS OS.  6: So, I am going to change MEPIS Installation disk from hda to sda sda is my Serial ATA drive where I installed MEPIS  7: However, there is no entry in the /(root) partition.  8: However, if I change the System Boot Disk to sda, which is not the boot disk...  9: Now I have an entry under /(root) partition.  10: Now I am going to change the MEPIS Installation disk back to HDA which, again, is not the install disk.  11: Left Click on Apply  12: The MEPIS assistant now wants to place the grub bootloader at HDA As shown, the System Boot Disk is set as sda and the Install as hda.  So there we go, just keep in mind that the Fields for System Boot and Mepis Installation are flipped, and you should be fine when re-installing the Grub BootLoader. Take me back to the Guides. |
