I have a laptop which has LMDE4 installed.
As it's about time to move on, I installed LMDE5 in parallel to LMDE4, whereby both installations share the same partition mounted to /boot.
i.e.
Code: Select all
/dev/sda1 EF02 GRUB partition
/dev/sda2 -> /boot/efi EF00 EFI partition
/dev/sda3 -> /boot 8300
/dev/sda4 -> / 8300 root of LMDE4
/dev/sda5 -> / 8300 root of LMDE5
LMDE4 appears with vmlinuz-4.19.0-22-amd under the 'primary' section ### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/10_linux ###
and
LMDE5 appears with vmlinuz-5.10.0-12-amd64 under the section ### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober ###.
GRUB was obviously updated during the installation of LMDE5.
When I now boot into LMDE5 the '10_linux' section of the grub.cfg is updated to read
- 'menuentry 'LMDE 5 Elsie ...' or
- 'submenu Advanced options for LMDE 5 Elsie ...'.
If I then boot into LMDE4 the '10_linux' section of the grub.cfg is updated to read
- 'menuentry 'LMDE 4 Debbie ...' or
- 'submenu Advanced options for LMDE 4 Debbie ...'.
Now the question: Which part of the boot process is modifying the grub.cfg file??
Any ideas??
