The only difference I see between a graphical and non-graphical mode, is a picture behind the menu. Other than that, both work the same way (you hit a key to get a menu, because of the "hiddenmenu" option, you cursor up and down the list of boot options, then hit return; or you do nothing and let the default option apply after a few seconds). I am wondering if you're not getting the menu, and you're being left at the GRUB prompt (where you do actually type in commands), because GRUB can't find the next thing to do by itself. If so, and it sounds like this might be the case, you might need to re-set-up GRUB. e.g. At that "grub>" prompt you'd type something *like* the following: grub> root (hd0,1) grub> setup (hd0) grub> quit See the grub info file, or website, for more details about configuring it. <http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/grub.html> (We're using the legacy version.) -- [tim@bigblack ~]$ uname -ipr 2.6.22.1-41.fc7 i686 i386 Using FC 4, 5, 6 & 7, plus CentOS 5.
