Haiku Bootloader booting Linux

[humdinger]

You can use the Haiku boot manager to load Linux, no problem. You do have to install grub in the Linux partition though. (If it’s put in the MBR of the device, it conflicts with the Haiku boot manager already sitting there. Haiku’s boot manager also keeps getting overwritten by grub on every other Linux update…)

See PulkoMandy’s tip in this thread:

When Ubuntu updates keep wiping bootman

What you do with grub-install only tells grub to reinstall itself in the partition. It doesn’t tell Ubuntu package manager to install it there by default. To do that, you need to reconfigure the package. Something like: sudo dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc. It should ask you where to install the bootloader and remember the setting.

Works like a charm.
