 no menu when booting with grub What's wrong with that? I've tried several changes, but at every boot the same thing: just an prompt, no menu? I've emerged grub-static ('cause this is the only loader for amd64 right now). Using this config on other boxes works wuite well... --------- mars root # cat /boot/grub/menu.lst default 0 timeout 30 root (hd0,0) splashimage=/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz title=vmlinuz26b11 kernel /boot/vmlinuz26b11 root=/dev/hda1 vga=838 title=gentoo.src kernel /usr/src/linux/arch/x86_64/boot/bzImage root=/dev/hda1 vga=838 idebus=66 title=Memtest86 kernel /boot/memtest86/memtest.bin --------- TiA, Jan      |

I still haven't figured out which is which! |

Figured out that grub-static does not link menu.lst and grub does it the wrong way (it expects the menu.lst already exist)... Anyway, grub has now a shiny metal ass^H^H^Hskin. Jan |
