| This is a strange problem I've had on two different laptops with different flavors of Linux installed alongside Win XP. Here's the scenario: Both machines will boot from a dead start into the chosen OS, be it XP or Linux. If I reboot the machine from XP to either OS the machine reboots normally. If I attempt a reboot from Linux, the reboot fails. Grub doesn't load. Black screen, no error messages. Nothing. I have to do a cold start to get running again. Here's my menu.lst: ******************************* # menu.lst - See: grub(8), info grub, update-grub(8) # grub-install(8), grub-floppy(8), # grub-md5-crypt, /usr/share/doc/grub # and /usr/share/doc/grub-doc/. ## default num # Set the default entry to the entry number NUM. Numbering starts from 0, and # the entry number 0 is the default if the command is not used. # # You can specify 'saved' instead of a number. In this case, the default entry # is the entry saved with the command 'savedefault'. # WARNING: If you are using dmraid do not change this entry to 'saved' or your # array will desync and will not let you boot your system. default 0 ## timeout sec # Set a timeout, in SEC seconds, before automatically booting the default entry # (normally the first entry defined). timeout 6 ## hiddenmenu # Hides the menu by default (press ESC to see the menu) hiddenmenu # Pretty colours color cyan/green white/green title Windows XP root (hd0,0) savedefault makeactive chainloader +1 title Ubuntu, kernel 2.6.15-26-386 root (hd0,4) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.15-26-386 root=/dev/hda5 ro vga=791 resume=/dev/hda5 quiet splash initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.15-26-386 savedefault boot title Ubuntu, kernel 2.6.15-26-386 (recovery mode) root (hd0,4) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.15-26-386 root=/dev/hda5 ro single initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.15-26-386 boot title Ubuntu, memtest86+ root (hd0,4) kernel /boot/memtest86+.bin boot ### END OF FILE ### |
