Thank You Vladimir!!!!<br><br>I removed every trace of grub 1.99-23 from my system & then installed 2.07 That works very well---I was up until now updating from 1.99 to 2.07 & as I look into 05_debian_theme in /etc/grub.d, I see that the location of grub-mkconfig_lib has changed from /usr/lib/grub/grub-mkconfig_lib to /usr/share/grub/grub-mkconfig_lib & that "seems" to have caused my problems--update-grub was silently failing without errors .... I can see that others doing a upgrade instead of a fresh install may run into the same problems......<br>
<br>In any case, total removal & then install fixed my problem.....bug closed.<br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Oct 4, 2012 at 9:01 AM, Vladimir 'phcoder' Serbinenko <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:phcoder@gmail.com" target="_blank">phcoder@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

Exactly symptoms of bad grub-install run: you don't actually install.<div><div class="h5"><br>
