Adding GRUB entry for Android x86 9.0 r2

[Никита Ковалёнок]

Hello!
I've installed Android x86 9.0 r2 without GRUB, because it already in the system, I have Windows and Ubuntu in dualboot. When im trying to launch Android (by first adding an entry in Grub Customizer), CMD says me that i must load the kernel first.. I tried many entries, but it don't work.
Can you help me, please?
Tnx for advance

You may add a boot entry to GRUB like this:

menuentry 'Boot android-x86' {
search --set=root --file /android-x86-9.0-r2/kernel
linux /android-x86-9.0-r2/kernel quiet root=/dev/ram0
initrd /android-x86-9.0-r2/initrd.img
}

BTW, you may install android-x86 in ubuntu by an rpm via
the alien tool. It will create the GRUB boot entry automatically.
See the release note for details.
