I have loaded 13.2 with all defaults to sda9 on a 2nd laptop. Its an HP DV9000 and has one drive with

sda1 - Vista64
sda2 - Hp Recovery

sda5 - Manjaro 0.89
sda6 - Swap
sda9 - antiX 13.2
sda7 - Jessie64
sda8 - Debian 7.4

The last installed was antiX, and after installing it some of the ones above are missing. It is difficult totell which because neither the volume label nor partition name nor o/s name & version appear, just a gobblty gook UUID which doesn't appear in gparted, soits difficult to tell which is which.

Optimally, I would like to get all of them to appear on the boot menu

Does anyone know a way?

Thanks....

This command run in a terminal via sudo or as root will help with the identification.

Thanks much, Sam. That makes it pretty clear what is what.

I think what is missing now is the optional boots, where I think it maybe goes to a different run level? Could I just edit that into the boot string if I needed to? If I knew what I'd need to add?

So, if I go into /boot/grub/menu.lst and change the text, will that solve it the rest of the way?

If you installed the bootloader during the antiX installation this is likely to be where your issue is based. You can verify it by checking whether the kernel/OS options displayed at the first (bootloader) screen correspond to the stanzas in that file.

There is a Youtube video by dolphin_oracle about multi-booting antiX with other OSs. It covers partitioning, installation and bootloader. You might find it helpful.

Thanks, Sam, I will watch it. I looked at menu.lst and it was the one I was getting, therefore I figured it was the live one, and changed it, and it worked just great, thanks.
