grub suddenly drops all options but LMDE (solved)

[mfs2]

have two hd's with LMDE on on and Ubuntu meerkat on the other. the grub menu was showing both options till yesterday when it had dropped the ubuntu options off the menu leaving LMDE. The other hd is there and can be mounted, but to boot it I'd have to change the boot sequence. I think everything is okay, but just wanted to report this curiosity.

LMDE just updated grub and this new v. has some issues http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.p ... 40#p414088

anyway while in LMDE you can try

Code: Select all

sudo os-prober

and see if grub picks the other install and after that

Code: Select all

sudo update-grub

with the other hdd plugged in and tells us the results

That restored the ubuntu option to the grub menu. Thanks.
