Package: grub Version: 0.97-27 Severity: normal
I have two OSes which I'd like access to via 'grub-reboot' ordered within my menu.lst file as, entry #0 - WinXP entry #1 - Debian's etch I'd like to be able to switch from one OS to the other remotely via 'grub-reboot' (ie. to reboot into the OS of choice at the time). I've modified my "default" entry in my menu.lst file to look like so, default saved and I've run 'grub-set-default 1' which properly creates the following file /boot/grub/default with '1' in it along with other misc text. When I run 'grub-reboot 0' and I OK the reboot I do indeed get booted into the windows partition but when I reboot my windows session I'd expect to go back to my entry #1 (linux) but I don't - I'm stuck in entry #0 (windows). I've been able to replicate this a number of times and it always fails. I realize that there was a bug #254475 which was fixed by Mr. Baitinger (in grub 0.97-24) but I could have sworn I'm seeing very similar issues all over. I'm using a stock debian etch box which has two drives on it (sda and sdb - sda1 contains windows and sdb1 linux - my MBR is, of course, on sda and I might have installed it on sdb by mistake awhile back too). In other words, I've done the following (in case this matters), % grub-install /dev/sdb % grub-install /dev/sda Any help would be appreciated and I'd be more than happy to provide further info...
