Re: GRUB 2 does not show new kernel :(

Hi Ben,
     First some observations. I have been trying to see your mail at
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/grub-devel/ as it takes some time
before it comes in the digest mode. I came to understand that I have
been approaching/barking up the wrong tree. But I'm getting ahead of
myself.

First of all, thanks to you, I saw again and indeed grub.cfg was
write-protected .

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root   2256 2007-06-09 14:19 acorn.mod
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root   4840 2007-06-09 14:19 affs.mod
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root   2600 2007-06-09 14:19 amiga.mod
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root   2704 2007-06-09 14:19 apple.mod
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root   2600 2007-06-09 14:19 bitmap.mod
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root   2132 2007-06-09 14:19 blocklist.mod
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root    512 2007-06-09 14:19 boot.img

a small sample tells that its the only one, the rest have write access by root.
A quick chmod 644 was all it required to change to the editable mode.
Hence  edited it.

What I was mistaking all along was the grub one to the grub 2 which is
the topmost link (Chainload to Grub 2) which now shows me the error
that I need to load the kernel first.

Another thing what that removal of code actually did was show me the
menu, before this the Grub 2 menu used to be empty (nothing there) so
used to think its some kind of placeholder or something. Now I know
its a work in progress.

Sorry for leading you up the wrong path. I will need to boot up couple
of times before I can fully say what the errors are so you could guide
me what to do next.
