I dont know where to post this to it ended up in here. I just want to ask how do you remove an entry in the Grub2 boot-loader? My system running on chakra (installed using Claire clean ISO) and windows 7 side by side got 4 entries on the grub boot-loader:1. for chakra2. advanced actions for chakra3.

I have EFI Windows 8 in my Asus K55V laptop. EFI partition is sda1.

I tried to install Ubuntu in EFI mode and selected separate boot partition as Ubuntu boot loaded.

Ubuntu installed perfectly, but I got 2 boot entries in EFI setup. When I tried to delete it in EFI setup, it restored on restart.

So I tried doing boot-repair, the thing is it added Grub2 to my sda partition.

As you know this upgrade switches from grub to grub2.

My PC is dual-boot, F16 and Ubuntu 12.04. Although I mainly run Fedora, Ubuntu's grub2 was automatically placed in my MBR when I did the upgrade from Ubuntu 11.10 to 12.04.

I recently ran preupgrade to upgrade from F16 to F17. When I tried to boot anaconda, the only Fedora entry in my grub2 menu was "Upgrade to Fedora 16 (Verne)".

I had a drive going bad so I wanted to remove the drive from the lvm but this drive also was where /boot resided. So I followed this tutorial I found on fedora forum http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=264174 but tried to have the /boot added on an already existing lv instead of a new lv called lv_boot in the tutorial. So now I can't boot.

How to remove Grub2? 41 weeks 2 days ago

I have a dual-boot Windows 7 and Ubuntu with a custom boot-loader (long story).

My problem is that when I boot up, I get the choices for Windows and Ubuntu in my custom boot-loader, and if I choose Ubuntu, I then get GRUB, with a working Linux entry and a bunch of other entries that don't really make sense.
