[SOLVED] Grub sees one OS 12 times!?!?

http://ubuntuforums.org – My laptop dual-boots Windows 7 & Ubuntu. Recently I added a logical partition and installed Backtrack. So now I'm triple-booting. Grub was fine until I installed Backtrack, now grub seems hopelessly confused. Here's the output of sudo update-grub from the Ubuntu 11.10 installation: Code: Generating grub.cfg ... Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-3.0.0-26-generic-pae Found initrd image: /boot/initrd.img-3.0.0-26-generic-pae Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-3.0.0-26-generic Found initrd image: /boot/initrd.img-3.0.0-26-generic Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-3.0.0-25-generic-pae Foun (Hardware)

I have one Ubuntu 13.04 and one Win7 on my system, but grub seems to be detecting them multiple times for some reason (see below) and I end up with two Ubuntus on my grub menu.

I cant start Grub Customizer in ubuntu 12.04 after updating the kernel:

exception '15AssertException' with message 'found unexpected file on path: /etc/grub.d/10_linux' in /build/buildd/grub-customizer-3.0.2/src/Model/ListCfg.cpp:916

Also update-grub command shows two identical kernels:

Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-3.2.0-36-generic Found initrd image: /boot/initrd.img-3.2.0-36-generic Foun

Hi I got three harddrives two 250gb and a 500gb and yesterday I installed windows on a raid 0 with my two 250gbs and today I installed Ubuntu on my 500gb drive but grub ain't showing the windows as a boot option, I've tried sudo update-grub2 but it just lists the regular :

Generating grub.cfg ... Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-3.0.0-16-generic Found initrd image: /boot/initrd.img-3.0.0-16-gener

Although I have several kernel versions in /boot and having them in my grub.cfg, they are not displayed in the grub boot menu.

Running update-grub seems to work, as it puts the kernels in the grub.cfg in /boot/grub.

I have a linux vps running Ubuntu 12.04 and when I run uname-r it replies:

paul@webforms:~$ uname -r 2.6.32.33-kvm-i386-20111128-dirty paul@webforms:~$ sudo grub-install -v grub-install (GRUB) 1.99-21ubuntu3.1

if I run update-grub I get:

paul@webforms:~$ sudo update-grub Generating grub.cfg ... Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-3.2.0-26-generic-pae Found initrd image: /boot/initrd.img-3.2.0-26

I installed lubuntu 12.04 on this machine, an old Thinkpad T30, alongside Windows XP. Since I can't access Quickbooks through lubuntu, the machine being too slow to run a virtual machine reliably, I used grub-customizer to move XP to the top of the grub list, and set the save-default option. Now, any time update-grub runs, I get this error:

Code: Installation finished.

I installed Debian 6.05 on sda2, and Xubuntu 12.04 on sda5.

I installed Windows XP, and I was missing GRUB.

Im in the process of undervolting my CPU in 10.04 LTS using this guide: http://openmindedbrain.info/09/05/20...-04-lucid-lts/

my uname -r returned 2.6.32-37, no -phc, so I needed to go into gedit to change "GRUB_DEFAULT=0" to the corresponding line's number.
