Comment 30 for bug 202009

My buddy Alex helped me fix this. I had to use Grub to write the new /boot/grub/menu.lst to the MBR.

So:

First, get into grub

jacob@jakes-desktop:~$ grub
Probing devices to guess BIOS drives. This may take a long time.

       [ Minimal BASH-like line editing is supported. For
         the first word, TAB lists possible command
         completions. Anywhere else TAB lists the possible
         completions of a device/filename. ]

Now look for menu.lst

grub> find /boot/grub/menu.lst
find /boot/grub/menu.lst
 (hd0,0)
 (hd1,0)
 (hd2,0)

Make sure the menu.lst is the one you want.

grub> cat (hd0,0)/boot/grub/menu.lst
cat (hd0,0)/boot/grub/menu.lst
# menu.lst - See: grub(8), info grub, update-grub(8)
# grub-install(8), grub-floppy(8),
# grub-md5-crypt, /usr/share/doc/grub
# and /usr/share/doc/grub-doc/.
...

Make sure stage1 is on the same partition you're going to use

### END DEBIAN AUTOMAGIC KERNELS LIST
grub> find /boot/grub/stage1
find /boot/grub/stage1
 (hd0,0)
 (hd1,0)
 (hd2,0)
grub> root (hd0,0)

grub> setup (hd0)

I rebooted and it works fine. Thanks!
