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...>

menuentry 'Ubuntu,

or

menuentry "Ubuntu,

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>
}

Creating menu-item

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>)
