I have recently tried installing Sabayon 3.5. I seems like a good distro, but it's boot loader broke the boot menu for opensuse and sidux! So I installed Xubuntu over Sabayon, only because its installer has been more reliable. so after installing Xubuntu. it sees sidux but it doesn't load properly.
what is the best way to fix the grub so sidux is the main bootloader? I have three hdds on this test box and I can install sidux 2008.2 where the 2008.1 is now. The sidux bootloader is one of the best that I've used.
I really don't care for Xubuntu and would rather use sidux or even opensuse instead.
How should I correct this? |

| ... rebooted again and this time I was able to get into sidux, but in the details it had trouble checking files and I had to do a CTRL+D to get in. What causes that? How di I correct that? |

Hi vinoman,
the CTRL+D issue looks suspiously like a broken filesystem check after the freshest of your installs.
The Sabayon-Installer should have altered the UUID of one (or more?) of your partitions, that is in the /etc/fstab file of your sidux-installation. Comment the partition out (#) or change the UUID in the file to the newest id with comparing the output of ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid and the id in the fstab.
If you successfully booted your sidux run the command grub-install --no-floppy --recheck /dev/sda to have the bootloader install in the mbr on your first hard drive. Check carefully if that is what you need and want.
cheers Micha |

Only your fstab doesn't help us.
Also you should use the code-tags!
And now we need the output of
ls -al /dev/disk/by-uuid |

1st, you have to edit your fstab and correct the wrong uuid there.
Then sidux should boot. |
