I've been looking through documentation but am still utterly confused. I'm used to using menu.lst
to configure grub but grub.cfg
seems to be the way to do it for grub2. My Debian 8 server has grub 0.97 installed and seems to have components to use both/either of menu.lst
or grub.cfg
. I can't seem to find any information on how the two interact.
Does grub 0.97 simply use grub.cfg
if it's there and then defaults to menu.lst
otherwise? I had a boot issue and the tech support people where my server resides simply renamed grub.cfg
to grub.cf_
. When I run update-grub
it doesn't seem to create a new grub.cfg
and only handles menu.lst
.
If I wanted to switch over to using grub.cfg
then do I need to start using grub-mkconfig
instead (looking through update-grub
it doesn't seem to ever handle grub.cfg)? If
aptdoes a kernel upgrade, will the appropriate thing happen and
grub.cfg` be updated?
