Android boot entry in Ubuntu /boot/grub/menu.lst

[Andreas S]

Hi,

I've installed android-x86 on sda3 beside an existing ubuntu 9.04.
I've tried to add the android into the /boot/grub/menu.lst without
much success.

All I'm getting is a file not found

Does anyone have a hint on a proper add.

title Android
kernel /android-2010-01-15/kernel root=/dev/sda3
androidboot.hardware=eeepc acpi_sleep=s3_bios,s3_mode SRC=/
android-2010-01-15
initrd /android-2010-01-15/initrd.img.img

Are you sure "initrd.img.img" is correct file name ? double ".img" 8-)

Also try,

"root=/dev/ram0"

instead of "root=/dev/sda3". Root partition is ramdisk in android-x86
build.
initrd.img is loaded before boot. And check "set root=hd(2,0)" is
added to
your grub entry, that will tell grub to look at 3rd partition for
kernel and initrd image.

uuid 534421db-1863-47b6-a1d9-cd8517bff2fb

kernel /android-1.6/kernel quiet root=/dev/ram0 androidboot.hardware=eeepc acpi_sleep=s3_bios,s3_mode SRC=/android-1.6

Thanks TECHHaas

Played a bit further around and got it running.

for all who are interested:

the entry in /boot/grub/menu.lst
title Android
uuid 4d324fc8-3af7-49cf-a48d-796a7c939307
kernel /android-2010-01-15/kernel root=/dev/ram0

androidboot.hardware=eeepc acpi_sleep=s3_bios,s3_mode SRC=/
android-2010-01-15
initrd /android-2010-01-15/initrd.img

the correct uuid I got by running blkid.

Thanks Andreas for this hint. Had to do the same procedure on my Acer
Aspire One AOA110 / ZG5 that has triple boot now: Ubuntu 9.10, WinXP
and Android x86 ;)

My grub menu.lst looks like this:

title Android-1.6-r2
uuid b962a569-b6cf-46cf-9cc3-d=d45bfdfe41
root (hd0,2)
kernel /android-1.6-r2/kernel quiet root=/dev/ram0
androidboot_hardware=eeepc acpi_sleep=s3_bios,s3_mode SDCARD=premount
SRC=/android-1.6-r2
initrd /android-1.6-r2/initrd.img

(I had to add the set root line as it didn't work before. I found out
the correct uuid for the partition that hosts Android in Ubuntu: just
started a console and typed blkid then Ubuntu lists the uuids of all
the partitions in the machine...)

Now I ony have to be able to calibrate the touchscreen and I am happy
enough....
