First of all when installing PCLinuxOS install GRUB to the PCLinuxOS root partition.
Then boot to Mint and run
Code: Select all
sudo update-grub
This will bring you to a screen where you can edit the entry.
At the top of the screen you will see an entry like this:
set root='(hd0,13)' (That's what mine was yours may have a different partition number.)
At the bottom of the screen you'll see an entry like this:
initrd (hd0,12)/boot/initrd.img (That's what mine was yours may have a different partition number.)
The two partition numbers have to match so first make sure your NumLock is on and change the bottom partition number so it matches the top partition number.
Then press Ctrl + X to boot into PCLinuxOS
Upon successful boot into PCLinuxOS press Alt + F2, then type kdesu kwrite /boot/grub/menu.lst ( gksu gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst for Gnome ) then Enter and password.
When the file comes up find the PCLinuxOS main entry. For me it was:
Code: Select all
title linux
kernel (hd0,12)/boot/vmlinuz BOOT_IMAGE=linux root=UUID=a60f840a-ac0e-42cf-bc5b-a3f40e138add resume=UUID=b4d89ce9-0042-4051-a255-47ce8837a276 splash=silent vga=788
initrd (hd0,12)/boot/initrd.img
Code: Select all
title linux
kernel (hd0,13)/boot/vmlinuz BOOT_IMAGE=linux root=UUID=a60f840a-ac0e-42cf-bc5b-a3f40e138add resume=UUID=b4d89ce9-0042-4051-a255-47ce8837a276 splash=silent vga=788
initrd (hd0,13)/boot/initrd.img
Then reboot back into Mint and run
Code: Select all
sudo update-grub
I know this looks like a lot but it only takes about 10 minutes.
