I followed your guide, and made this:

#!/bin/sh

exec tail -n +3 $0

# This file provides an easy way to add custom menu entries.  Simply type the

# menu entries you want to add after this comment.  Be careful not to change

# the 'exec tail' line above.

menuentry "Android-x86 2.2 (MDPI)" {

set root=(hd0,4)

linux /android-1.6-r2/kernel quiet root=/dev/ram0 androidboot_hardware=lenovox201 acpi_sleep=s3_bios,s3_mode SRC=/android-1.6-r2 DATA= DPI=160

initrd /android-1.6-r2/initrd.img

}

menuentry "Android-x86 2.2 (HDPI)" {

set root=(hd0,4)

linux /android-1.6-r2/kernel quiet root=/dev/ram0 androidboot_hardware=lenovox201 acpi_sleep=s3_bios,s3_mode SRC=/android-1.6-r2 DATA= DPI=240

initrd /android-1.6-r2/initrd.img

}

menuentry "Android-x86 2.2 (VESA)" {

set root=(hd0,4)

linux /android-1.6-r2/kernel quiet root=/dev/ram0   androidboot_hardware=lenovox201 acpi_sleep=s3_bios,s3_mode SRC=/android-1.6-r2 DATA= vga=788

initrd /android-1.6-r2/initrd.img

}

menuentry "Android-x86 2.2 (Debug mode)" {

set root=(hd0,4)

linux /android-1.6-r2/kernel root=/dev/ram0 androidboot_hardware=lenovox201 acpi_sleep=s3_bios,s3_mode DEBUG=1  vga=788 SRC=/android-1.6-r2 DATA=

initrd /android-1.6-r2/initrd.img

}

But there is no any menu entry's showing up.

[Christopher Hrabia]

did you execute update-grub?

2011/5/12 Jacob Christensen <j.bor...@gmail.com>

[Jacob Christensen]

yup

2011/5/12 Christopher Hrabia <c.hr...@gmail.com>

[Christopher Hrabia]

you put mentioned custom entries into

/etc/grub.d/40_custom

?

maybe try to reinstall grub to our mbr?

with "grub-install /dev/sda" or something like this?

Your android entries seems to be ok. There must be something wrong with your grub/update...

please post the print outs from "sudo update-grub"

It should read the /etc/grub.d/40_custom

2011/5/12 Jacob Christensen <j.bor...@gmail.com>

[Jacob Christensen]

I have installed it into "/etc/grub.d/40_custom" but i just found out there is 2 files with that name.. is that normal ?.. the content of those, isn't the same.

The output of "sudo update-grub"

mj@mj-ThinkPad-X201:~$ sudo update-grub

[sudo] password for mj: 

Generating grub.cfg ...

Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.38-8-generic

How do i reinstall Grub ?

2011/5/13 Jacob Christensen <j.bor...@gmail.com>

[Christopher Hrabia]

sudo grub-install /dev/sd? depending on your partition/disk order.

2011/5/17 Jacob Christensen <j.bor...@gmail.com>

[Jacob Christensen]

In "GParted" my partitions look like this:

/dev/sda1 - NTFS - System Reserved

/dev/sda2 - NTFS
/dev/sda4 - FAT32 - Android
/dev/sda3 - extended
  /dev/sda5 - ext4
  /dev/sda6 - unknown

So this is what i have to do: 

sudo grub-install /dev/sda5

Is that correct?

[Christopher Hrabia]

sudo grub-install /dev/sda

is correct grub in installed into the mbr of your device! if you do not use a boot partition. The number represents every partition.

2011/5/18 Jacob Christensen <j.bor...@gmail.com>

sudo grub-install /dev/sda5

[Jacob Christensen]

I found my grub in /boot/grub/ on my linux partition.. 

Thats why i figured out that i have to use this: sudo grub-install /dev/sda5

i dont have a boot partition,, i think..

I just made a perfectly normal installation, with no self-made configurations,, exept the size of Windows 7, Linux 11.04 and the Android partitions
