Re: [bitfolk] pyGRUB ignores changes in menu.lst

It thinks it is reading the file /boot/grub/menu.lst but clearly isn't reading the one you have there. I note that your VPS is set up in an old style where I export you a whole disk and partition it. I did this for a short period of time because it's more like what real machines expect, but it proved harder for customers to grow the partitions that way, so I abandoned it quite quickly. I just tested by taking a snapshot of your disk and running pygrub against your / partition (instead of your whole disk) and it worked as I would expect. I can only assume that pygrub is getting confused by being passed a whole disk. Perhaps seeing an old copy of this file in some now-unused space? I don't know. Never seen this before! Anyway I think the best thing to do will be to convert your VPS into the new style of setup. I'm afraid it will require a shut down and 15-30 mins of downtime. When would you like me to do it? No data will be lost, it's merely shuffling around how block devices are presented. Cheers Andy -- http://bitfolk.com/ -- No-nonsense VPS hosting
