Hi guys,

[hysoka@myhost ~]$ sudo pacman -Qi grub2
Nome : grub2
Versione : 1.98-4
URL : http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/
Licenze : GPL3
Gruppi : Nessuno
Fornisce : grub
Dipende da : sh lzo2 freetype2
Dip. opzionali : ruby:usr/share/grub/genmk.rb script
libusb: /sbin/grub-emu
Richiesto da : Nessuno
Conflitti con : grub
Sostituisce : Nessuno
Kb richiesti : 5736,00 K
Autore : Ronald van Haren <ronald.archlinux.org>
Architettura : x86_64
Creato il : mer 17 mar 2010 11:31:40 UTC
Installato il : gio 18 mar 2010 16:17:13 UTC
Motivo : Installato esplicitamente
Script install : No
Descrizione : The GNU GRand Unified Bootloader
Edited the grub.cfg as I needed:
[hysoka@myhost ~]$ cat /boot/grub/grub.cfg
# Config file for GRUB2 - The GNU GRand Unified Bootloader
# /boot/grub/grub.cfg
# DEVICE NAME CONVERSIONS
#
# Linux Grub
# -------------------------
# /dev/fd0 (fd0)
# /dev/sda (hd0)
# /dev/sdb2 (hd1,2)
# /dev/sda3 (hd0,3)
#
# Timeout for menu
set timeout=2
# Set default boot entry as Entry 0
set default=0
# (0) Arch Linux
menuentry "Arch Linux" {
set root=(hd0,5)
linux /boot/vmlinuz26 root=/dev/sda5 ro vga=773
initrd /boot/kernel26.img
}
# (1) Windows
menuentry "Fold" {
set root=(hd0,1)
chainloader +1
}
But after rebooting I had instead of the grub's menu the grub's shell
So I tried to install manually grub by its shell, and I found out that I had to place back again the menu.lst in order to make grub working again!
In fact, the configuration used now is the one defined by old menu.lst I restored.
But "pacman -Qi grub2" clearly keeps saying I got grub2 installed, and the wiki claim the "grub.cfg" to be the working configuraion file!!
What's going on? Here my boot directory:
[hysoka@myhost grub]$ ls /boot/grub/ | more
device.map
e2fs_stage1_5
fat_stage1_5
ffs_stage1_5
grub.cfg
grubenv
iso9660_stage1_5
jfs_stage1_5
menu.lst
menu.lst.pacsave
minix_stage1_5
reiserfs_stage1_5
stage1
stage2
stage2_eltorito
ufs2_stage1_5
vstafs_stage1_5
xfs_stage1_5
[hysoka@myhost grub]$

Did you run grub-install on your MBR after installing Grub2?
What he said ^. Confirm that the bootloader itself has been installed to the MBR. It sounds like you installed the package and configured it, but still have Grub legacy on the MBR.
