This has me puzzled. When it boots up, it shows the grub version as 1.98 which is grub2.
I looked at /boot/grub/grub.cfg and the 3 kernels are there:
vmlinuz-2.6.35-7.slh.1-aptosid-amd64
vmlinuz-2.6.36-1.slh.2-aptosid-amd64
vmlinuz-2.6.36-1.slh.7-aptosid-amd64
but the latest .7 kernel doesn't show up in the boot menu and I keep getting rebooted into the .2 kernel.
Anyone ever see this behavior? I did the upgrade-from-grub-legacy already just to make sure the old grub has been scrubbed...the only thing remaining is menu.lst which points at much older 2.6.34 kernels that I don't have installed. |

Are you missing initrd.img-2.6.36-1.slh.7-aptosid-686 ?
Code:
apt-cache search aptosid
Code:
apt-get update && apt-get install linux-image-2.6.36-1.slh.7-aptosid-686 linux-headers-2.6.36-1.slh.7-aptosid-686
adjust for 64bit 
reboot ... |

initrd appears to be there:
Code:
grub
initrd.img-2.6.35-7.slh.1-aptosid-amd64
initrd.img-2.6.36-1.slh.2-aptosid-amd64
initrd.img-2.6.36-1.slh.7-aptosid-amd64
the latest kernel appears to be installed:

| Is there any way to get grub to show where it's reading the grub.cfg from? |

I am thinking it has to with raid or your setup
I havent used raid in years, no need to
also this
Code:
search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set 805ca177-b56e-497b-849d-39b2d37505ec
and this
Code:
search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set 23a57750-a270-4525-8408-05bb8edfc125
might be a problem, I have to leave for work at the moment and really just took a quick look, i could be dead wrong and don't have the time at the moment |

That's what I thought initially as well, but when I ran upgrade-from-legacy-grub, it asked me where I wanted to write grub and I chose the drives in the raid array (/dev/sda, /dev/sdb) as well as /dev/md0 (which is the RAID1 partition for the raid drive) but not /dev/vg0 (which is the LVM partition inside the RAID container). I even wrote grub to the MBR multiple times and verified that 1.98 (grub2) was being loaded.
It's just w/ the latest kernel update (.7) that I've had this issue. It upgraded the grub.cfg properly w/ .2 and for a while before that.
I've run RAID1 since having my drives die on me every few years. I figure if one drive goes, at least I have a shot at replacing it before the other one goes so I don't lose any data  |

Run update-grub, you should see something like this:
Code:
root@siduxbox64a:/boot/grub# update-grub
Generating grub.cfg ...
Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.36-1.slh.7-aptosid-amd64
Found initrd image: /boot/initrd.img-2.6.36-1.slh.7-aptosid-amd64

Found memtest86+ image: /boot/memtest86+.bin
Found memtest86+ multiboot image: /boot/memtest86+_multiboot.bin

then check timestamp on the cfg file... it should be located in /boot/grub

root@siduxbox64a:/boot/grub# ls -l /boot/grub/grub.cfg
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 6163 Dec 10 14:29 /boot/grub/grub.cfg
and the contents of grub.cfg for menu options:
Code:

menuentry 'Debian GNU/Linux, with Linux 2.6.36-1.slh.7-aptosid-amd64' --class debian --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os {

You should only require grub2 in the MBR, but having it multiple places shouldn't be a problem. |

All looks right...still seems like it's readying another grub.cfg:

Code:

348417600 blocks [2/1] [_U]
md0 : active raid1 sdb6[1]
192640 blocks [2/1] [_U]
It's booting off the raid drive that dropped out which didn't get updated by grub  |
