Fix grub on external-monitor #68

Closed TimStallard closed 4 years ago

TimStallard commented 4 years ago

External-monitor seems to be stuck booting from an external copy of grub legacy. Following attempts to switch to grub 2 the other day, this has stopped the automatic updating of /etc/grub/menu.lst, so it won't boot into new kernels now.

Switching to grub 2 would be good - I think we could just chainload it from grub legacy. One to look at during thursday meeting when we can get a console.

If that all fails, we can just put the grub legacy packages back.

We got a grub menu for the first boot off the CD, it was trying to use /boot/grub2/grub.cfg - added symlink to /boot/grub, all happy now.
