[SOLVED] Will opensolaris list Ubuntu?

Hi, Does anyone know whether OpenSolaris 2008/11 after installation detects Ubuntu (my main OS) and appends it to the grub menu list?

Sorry... I have no clue. But, have you tried installing Virtualbox and loading OpenSolaris in a vm session? It's an awesome way to test an OS without screwing up your main box.

Thanks, I have installed it (a few days ago) on my 2nd computer which is a test machine, I couldn't get a few things working and I thought perhaps on this one it will work. On that machine I had no OS to care about, but this one is my "working horse" so I'd like to know this before installing it.. I just got stroke by an idea, I'll install Ubuntu on that one and then OpenSolaris and see what happpens.. will take like 1-2 hours though. PS: On that computer I had windows and it actually got listed, but I dunno whether Ubuntu is detected as well. Gonna check now.

no it will not. it says so in the install instructions . i use open-solaris 2008.11 as the only system on my new computer and it runs great but i have never tried to dual boot with linux.

Well I just finished the experiment and you're right. It doesn't. I guess I'll wait for better days since trying out ZFS and DTrace isn't that important to me.

I've never used OpenSolaris so YMMV.

You should be able to manually edit grub, lilo, etc, to include your Ubuntu partition.

I seem to remember it detecting my Linux partition, though it didn't add it to GRUB.
