Introduction
Pardus uses GRUB Legacy as boot-loader to start your computer.
Some other Linux distributions use GRUB 2.
This is a manual how to add a menu-item from GRUB 2 in the menu-item of Pardus (GRUB Legacy).
Find the /dev/value
Open System > KDE Partition Manager and note the partition value /dev/sd?? =<2> of the OS (partition) that uses Grub 2.
Create/check mounting point for /dev/sd??
Open System Settings > Disk Manager and create (Edit button) a mounting point for /dev/sd??
Find information from grub.cfg
Open Dolphin > Places > partition /dev/sd?? > goto /boot/grub and open (KWrite) the file grub.cfg. In KWrite > Edit > Find...>
### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/10_linux ###
Example:
### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/10_linux ### Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.31-9-rt Found initrd image: /boot/initrd.img-2.6.31-9-rt menuentry "Ubuntu, Linux 2.6.31-9-rt" =<1> { recordfail=1 if [ -n ${have_grubenv} ]; then save_env recordfail; fi set quiet=1 insmod ext2 set root=(hd0,8) search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set 663376fb-d638-4581-8e24-ebf04e40b89d linux /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.31-9-rt =<3> root=UUID=663376fb-d638-4581-8e24-ebf04e40b89d ro quiet splash =<5> initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.31-9-rt =<4> }
Open System Settings > Boot Manager > Add New > Linux and enter the values:
Tittle > value from <1> or whatever you want Disk > value from <2> Kernel > value from <3> Ramdisk File > value from <4> Boot options > value <5>
Select OK > Green mark (don't forget this one) > Close System Settings.
For the above example this would be:
Tittle > Ubuntu, Linux 2.6.31-9-rt Disk > /dev/sda8 Kernel > /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.31-9-rt Ramdisk File > /boot/initrd.img-2.6.31-9-rt Boot options > root=UUID=663376fb-d638-4581-8e24-ebf04e40b89d ro quiet splash
'root=UUID=663376fb-d638-4581-8e24-ebf04e40b89d' can be replaced by 'root=/dev/sda8' (value from <2>)
