Thanks for you answer. After many tries, I got the messages that states that the kernel is already installed, as well as the kernel image.
So far, I saw that /boot/vmlinuz and /boot/initrd are ok.
After another searches I found that the real problem is that GRUB (2) is vanished the config files, at least the LM10 records.
It has only the /memtest options and /windows boot record.
Trying again to many forums, I did not managed even with Super Grub Disk to deal, because, it seems that on the LM10 installin, I choosen (poorly) to have a ext2 fs, than ext4.
Trying another steps, I found on the SourceForge the bootscript for debugging such situations, and here are the output.
I hope to be clear for the experts to see what is my issue and the solution: in fact, I have no records in Grub/2 menu to point to /dev/sda7 LM10 installation.
Please pay some attention and give me some advice for this.
Thanks all for help.

I've never really explored the options available in the boot firmware on our servers. Outside of needing to change boot device paths a few times for various reasons, I'm wondering what the implications are of turning off FASTBOOT. According to the man page for 'setboot', it seems that when... (1 Reply)
I was wondering if there was a way to boot from openboot from the dvd drive. I was thinking about imaging the dvd to a blank drive and going about it that way. I just need to do a flash install. (5 Replies)

Hi:
I once changed the smp kernel running in my system by another one in /boot. What I did was to relink /boot/System.map, /boot/vmlinuz and /boot/config. But I don't remember if I did something else. Would that alone be OK. (4 Replies)
Hi everyone,
I am trying to prevent the ehci_hcd kernel module to load at boot time.
Here's what I've tried so far:

nextboot
NEXTBOOT(8) BSD System Manager's Manual NEXTBOOT(8)NAME
nextboot -- specify an alternate kernel and boot flags for the next reboot
SYNOPSIS
nextboot [-e variable=value] [-f] [-k kernel] [-o options]
nextboot -D
DESCRIPTION
The nextboot utility allows specifying some combination of an alternate kernel, boot flags and kernel environment for the next time the
machine is booted. Once the loader(8) loads in the new kernel information, it is deleted so in case the new kernel hangs the machine, once
it is rebooted, the machine will automatically revert to its previous configuration.
The options are as follows:
-D Invoking nextboot with this option removes an existing nextboot configuration.
-e variable=value
This option adds the provided variable and value to the kernel environment. The value is quoted when written to the nextboot
configuration.
-f This option disables the sanity checking which checks if the kernel really exists before writing the nextboot configuration.
-k kernel This option specifies a kernel directory relative to /boot to load the kernel and any modules from.
-o options This option allows the passing of kernel flags for the next boot.
FILES
/boot/nextboot.conf The configuration file that the nextboot configuration is written into.
EXAMPLES
To boot the GENERIC kernel with the nextboot command:
nextboot -k GENERIC
To enable into single user mode with the normal kernel:
nextboot -o "-s" -k kernel
To remove an existing nextboot configuration:
nextboot -D
SEE ALSO boot(8), loader(8)HISTORY
The original nextboot manual page first appeared in FreeBSD 2.2. It used a very different interface to achieve similar results.
The current incarnation of nextboot appeared in FreeBSD 5.0.
AUTHORS
This manual page was written by Gordon Tetlow <gordon@FreeBSD.org>.
BUGS
The nextboot code is implemented in the loader(8). It is not the most thoroughly tested code. It is also my first attempt to write in
Forth.
Finally, it does some evil things like writing to the file system before it has been checked. If it scrambles your file system, do not blame
me.
