Will keep looking. It's certainly worth having a printed copy of a grub.conf file to refer to when you don't have a working PC to consult, if you're trying to fix up a machine that won't boot. I can't recall if it's been said in this thread, but it certainly has before, the man file for GRUB is virtually useless, the info file for it is quite comprehensive. When you see a man file that tells you to read the info file (notes at the end of the man file), it's worth having a look. And, as gets pointed out from time to time, the "info" command isn't very nice to use. Try using pinfo, instead (e.g. pinfo grub). Or, if you prefer reading in a GUI system, with scroll bars and mouseable hyperlinking, you can type this command line to start: yelp info:grub -- [tim@bigblack ~]$ rm -rfd /*^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^Huname -ipr 2.6.21-1.3228.fc7 i686 i386 Using FC 4, 5, 6 & 7, plus CentOS 5. Today, it's FC7. Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored. I read messages from the public lists.
