[SOLVED] Lunatic is having problems booting after installing

[ukbrian]

Cheers friend, everything makes sense now,

I put a decktop together this morning first of all with a 80 GB HDD with win7 sharing with LL which installed and booted no problem, then I added a data drive with no problems but then I installed another drive and installed LL on it with it's grub on its MBR which really screwed things up.

I'll have a play with that set up soon and see if I can bodge something.

I completely agree with Gerry's aims, the grub2 menu really hacks me off big time, I always add this line to get rid of the "Advanced" line which no newcomer is ever going to use.

# Remove Advanced option
GRUB_DISABLE_SUBMENU=y

Plus

GRUB_GFXMODE=640x480

On a 1980x1080 display the text is barely readable, hidious and unfriendly

# Uncomment to disable generation of recovery mode menu entries
GRUB_DISABLE_RECOVERY="true"

What possible use is this to a newcomer, it's just another line of clutter the lazy geeks needed and haven't removed just the same as the "Advanced" cr*p line, we need to reclaim our once very readable, user friendly menu back from the techies.

I generaly do this

GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR="lite"

But I'd like to have "sda4" etc  at the end of the menu line.

Off for a big think and some sleep said the old Druid.
