That's roughly the last time I was playing with it on my server, and I *KNOW* it worked fine then. Here's what my menu.lst looks like, as you can see it's pretty standard. # grep -v '^#' /boot/grub/menu.lst |strings default saved timeout 15 color cyan/blue white/blue title Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.11.7 root (hd0,1) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.11.7 root=/dev/hda2 ro ide=nodma initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.11.7 savedefault boot title Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.11.7 (recovery mode) root (hd0,1) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.11.7 root=/dev/hda2 ro ide=nodma single initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.11.7 savedefault boot title Other operating systems: root title Windows NT/2000/XP (loader) root (hd0,0) savedefault makeactive chainloader +1 For what it's worth, if anything, I tried entering the commands in manually at the grub prompt (hitting "c" when the menu comes up). The first three lines I manually typed: root (hd0,1) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.11.7 root=/dev/hda2 ro ide=nodma initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.11.7 were able to be entered just fine. When I entered "savedefault", I received the feedback of "Error 27: Unrecognized command". Interestingly, grub-reboot *does* work as expected. # apt-cache policy grub grub: Installed: 0.95+cvs20040624-17 Candidate: 0.95+cvs20040624-17 Version Table: *** 0.95+cvs20040624-17 0 800 http://ftp.nl.debian.org unstable/main Packages 700 http://mirror.ox.ac.uk testing/main Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 0.91-2 0 -10 http://mirror.direct.ca stable/main Packages I really have no idea at this point as to what else to check/try. It's not particularly an option I *need*, per se, but it can be useful sometimes. :) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
