Thread: precise update-grub does not create entries for older Ubuntu installation

-

after doing clean install of precise, find update-grub not create grub entry older installation of kubuntu viz oneiric. on system layout follows:

sda1 win-7-root ntfs
sda2 win-7-data fat
sda3 linux-swap
sda4 extended
sda5 precise-boot ext3
sda6 precise-root ext4
sda7 linux-home ext3
sda8 linux-home-big ext3
sda9 oneiric ext4

when running update-grub script in precise sure enough says has detected oneiric not output appropriate grub.cfg entry:

code:
$ sudo update-grub  generating grub.cfg ...  found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-3.2.0-23-generic  found initrd image: /boot/initrd.img-3.2.0-23-generic  found memtest86+ image: /memtest86+.bin  found windows 7 (loader) on /dev/sda1  found ubuntu 11.10 (11.10) on /dev/sda9  done  $
the contents of /etc/grub.d/ folder unmodified pure precise install. have attached output grub.cfg. can please help?
attached files attached files

well problem solved somewhat. apparently if there grub.cfg file in boot directory of other ubuntu installation, update-grub script reads file , botches in way creation of needed grub.cfg file. after renaming other grub.cfg grub.cfg.txt (or else) update-grub script of precise creates correct grub.cfg entries able boot older ubuntu installation.
