Luckily, we still are grub1 .....
# grub --version
grub (GNU GRUB 0.97)
So I ran it and it tells me I have 2 OSs ...
root: /dev/VG1/LV0001.root
root: /dev/VG1/LV0002.root
I thought it might dump the running grub, but then again, it
doesn't know what "running" is it looks like using /var/log/messages
file to determine what is (likely) mounted in the guest.
Thanks!
Shawn
