ALL, I have a DELL laptop on which I installed Linux and Open Solaris (in that order).
Linux used GRUB2 and it was OK. Solaris still uses GRUB1 and it looks like it did overwrite the GRUB2 installation, not detecting that there is already bootloader.
Now, this is what I have on the disk:
partition table: gpt
Number Start End Size File System Name Flags
1 1.00MiB 3.00MiB 2.00MiB grub bios-grub
2 3.00MiB 131MiB 128MiB ext2 boot
3 131MiB 2000MiB 2000MiB swap swap
4 2000MiB 250000MiB 248MiB ext4 root
5 250000MiB 500000MiB 250MiB Solaris Solaris
Now my question would be: if I boot up Linux CD and re-issue grub-install, will grub understand that there is a copy of GRUB{1} and won't overwrite it?
Thank you.
so GRUB2 will overwrite the GRUB-1 that was installed by Solaris IIUC you response? My idea is to have a dual-boot system with Linux and Solaris... Thank you. – Igor – 2014-06-09T01:10:15.513
