Starnge. I'll look into it. The sc-initrd... is only selected when INITRD is
unset, so I wonder why this happens.

The only change in logic is an extension of the --no-floppy check. The grub
class is checking for --no-floppy right at load time, not only in
install_loader(). The reason is that there are "grub" commands which don't
support --no-floppy (I had an RHEL3 installation with this problem), so we
need to check centrally. Maybe this is the reason.

Best regards,
Erich
