Re: CRUX Boot fails from Ubuntu Grub2

It's not a problem if you configure fstab correctly. I never do because all of my crux machines are one physical drive and one partition per system, I don't even use swap. I just like to keep things clean and simple. On Fri, Jan 27, 2017 at 12:58 PM, Milton Smith <miltonsj@gmail.com> wrote:

Ok Steve. I just installed it again following your instructions. It worked! I was not doing 'make firmware_install' when compiling the kernel. I am gonna keep it simple from now on. One os on each disk! I am reformatting my Ubuntu drive now. No more of that! Thanks again.

Keeping things simple is a matter of personal preference. On my desktop computer, I have Crux, SourceMage, Void, Gentoo, Arch, and Windows10 on 3 disks, a SSD and 2 HDD's (and I've tried many others). They are all booted from Grub Legacy (Grub1) which is located on the Gentoo distro. I have never had a problem booting anything. I have never used a separate boot partition. The 2 HDD's have at least 10 different partitions. Four of the Linux distros have custom kernels, I've never used "make firmware_install". If you plan on re-partitioning in the future (maybe to try another distro), id'ing your partitions with UUID probably makes sense. Device names can change, UUID's do not. That being said, I have always used device names. Good luck, glad you got it installed. Crux is my favorite. Dan On Fri, Jan 27, 2017 at 11:53 AM, Milton Smith <miltonsj@gmail.com> wrote:

Dan, it sounds like you have one hell of a setup 😀. I would love to boot with Grub legacy because I hate Grub 2. Can you give me some pointers on how to make that happen? Would I need Gentoo? I know most distros now have gone to Grub 2. Thanks in advance... Sent from BlueMail On Jan 28, 2017, 9:50 AM, at 9:50 AM, Dan Kociela <dkociela@gmail.com> wrote:
