FS#361 - GRUB entries for Windows Versions swapped
I have three operating systems on my machine. The 1st one is Windows Vista, the 2nd one is Windows XP and the 3rd one is eLive. eLive has been installed as the last one and brought GRUB with it. It has created four GRUB entries (1: eLive GEM+, 2: Windows Vista, Windows XP, Memory RAM Diagnostic). Every entry works fine, only when I select Vista then XP comes up and when I select XP then Vista comes up. So either the descriptions or the boot devices are swapped. I am not clear about the devices. Vista has one disk, eLive and XP share the other disk. This is my menu.lst:
title Elive Gem+ root (hd0,4) kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.26.8-elive-686 root=UUID=5f5c337c-c679-413e-b9e7-1cbcdc0107ae vga=791 splash=silent resume=UUID=a756b053-617a-439b-8fb9-50d97962aa84 initrd /initrd.img-2.6.26.8-elive-686 # This is a divider, added to separate the menu items below from the Debian # ones. # on /dev/sda1 title Windows Vista/Longhorn (loader) root (hd0,0) savedefault chainloader +1 # on /dev/sdb1 title Microsoft Windows XP Professional root (hd1,0) savedefault chainloader +1 title Memory RAM diagnostic root (hd1,4) kernel /memtest86+.bin savedefault

if you run the command os-prober in your live mode, it shows correctly this list ? (so, the correct device per the correct windows system)
Btw please do that from an updated elive ISO
This system was made better in a recent version of Elive, by other side, windows does ugly methods to boot their operating systems and is not easy to trace their ugly hack in a correctly/stable way, so it is better to have duplicated entry's than not boot them, in any case, you are welcome to try a recent version of Elive development version and update the installer before to install: apt-get update && apt-get install eliveinstaller-4g
