Post subject:  Upgrade to Edgy?
I have breezy installed on my Peg 2 using the grub2 method posted here not long ago. I want to put the latest verson on in its place. How can I do this? I got the instruction to make the install DVD fixes from pegasos.org but I want to make sure the boot menu script I use to load MOS, OSX and ubuntu now will still work if I install edgy over breezy or just wipe out breezy all together and replace it with edgy.

I run the boot menu first, then it calls the grub2 thing if I select ubunti from it. Below is my actual boot menu I run.

i installed the DVD yesterday, and the good news is that you don't need anything anymore to boot it. Just boot on the kernel in your ext3 partition from OF.

You can get rid of grub and all that stuff.

The kernel is located in your /boot directory in your Ubuntu Edgy partition, the name should be vmlinuz-{version]-powerpc


it works out of the box (as long as you updated xserver-xorg-core following the tutorial on pegasos.org).

EDIT :
boot hd:0 grub/grubof.modules prefix=(hd,0)/grub
won't work anymore

instead you should use something like :

boot /pci/ide/disk@[your ubuntu partition ID] vmlinuz-2.6.17.10-powerpc root=/dev/hd[your boot partition ID] ro splash=silent

good luck ! (check for me on IRC tonight if u need some help)

I've installed twice now and both times after it completes with no errors I get an error when I try to boot!!

from OF it tells me filesystem not supported, what am I doing wrong? I use the defaults of ext3.
