Tried that - no change. It may well be wrong but I have the impression that it won't try to execute until after GRUB has found the kernel and loaded it, and the error message I get - "GRUB Loading, please wait..... Error 2" suggests to me that the boot process isn't getting that far. cr -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
