OK, I tried the CVS version and that's what I found. I'm very busy and I'm not asking somebody to help, so I didn't try to search documentation and the archives. If something was reported or I'm just doing something stupid, please ignore it. I was using ./configure --enable-3c90x The warnings from make are attached. I don't know if anybody cares, but since there is a long list of -W options, somebody should care. The warnings are produced by gcc 3.2 from Red Hat 8.0. The installation by grub-install was flawless. When I rebooted, the menu was fine. However, when I pressed "c", the cursor was missing. I could type and execute any commands, I just could not see the cursor. The old version (it also was from CVS, and I don't remember when I compiled it) did show the cursor properly. Later I found that if I run "testvbe 0x101" and press Enter during the test, the cursor appears. It's a normal blinking cursor. However, if I reload grub by chainloading, the cursor disappears: root (hd0) chainloader +1 boot I'm using A-Open AK-33 motherboard (VIA KT133 chipset) and Matrox G450. Networking functions seem to be fine, although I don't have a tftp server. At least grub could get an IP address from my cable modem :-) Loading of different operating systems also seems to be OK (Linux, FreeBSD 4.6, memtest 3.0, chainload to BeOS). Now a minor issue. The help for "terminfo" sounds wrong: "Use this command to define escape sequences, unless it is vt100-compatible" "unless" is not always "if not". This sentence sounds like that "terminfo" cannot be used on vt100-compatible terminals.
