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, [...]
I thought it would do too. One problem with Augeas is that it relies
on the exact location of the configuration file.
You can try changing:
display ("/files/etc/grub.conf")
to:
display ("/files")
and see if the grub config shows up anywhere in the (likely to be
huge) output.
