Hello, first I've got to accomplish you for having written the best bootmanager I know. As already mentioned in the subject I recently had a problem installing Version 0.90 , coming with Linux Mandrake 8.1.
My system: AMD Athlon 900 MHZ (Slot) AMD Chipset Riva TNT2 384 mb RAM Soundblaster PCI128 with Win98SE and Linux Mandrake (now Version 8.1) Award-BIOS After installing grub during the Linux-installation I booted Windows and recognized that the option to change to Standby-Mode was no longer present. In the control-center Win98 claimed a missing driver but trying to reinstall the driver it told me, the best driver was already installed. So I checked my BIOS but the settings were the same as the day before. My grub menu.lst was identically the same, as the one I used before As the only thing I've changed was the Installation of Mandrake and grub I cleared the mbr from a Win bootdisk and started the system. After that the standby-option was present again and worked well. I thought that something went wrong with the grub-installation and so I bootet my Linux from a bootdisk and reinstalled grub. The same problem occured again. So I decided to fall back to Version 0.5.96.1 with wich I don't have the problem of the missing standby-mode in Windows 98. To be sure that it is not a problem with this computer or with my Windows-installation, I installed Win on another system without any vendor-drivers and after that installed Mandrake 8.1 with grub. I got the same problem, that after that the standby-mode in Win98 was missing. This test-system is an Intel PIII, 850MHZ. 256MB RAM, ATI-graphics with Phoenix-BIOS. So I asked in a Newsgroup (de.comp.gnu) whether someone else had the same problem and I got an answer from someone, using SuSE 7.2 with grub 0.90 and Windows ME. He told me that the same problem occured on his computer. Only a fallback to grub-version 0.5.96.1 could bring back the standby-mode in Windows. Do you already know about the problem and can you tell me, why it occurs and wether there is a method to solve it or eventualley a patch? I would be very glad to hear from you. Thanks in advance and greetings from germany Albert _______________________________________________ Bug-grub mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-grub
