Hello . There are many bugs in gentoo land with grub, so all users have to seat with old grub-0.94 before we could fix some of them and then commit grub-0.96 into our package tree.
I'd like to bug report, but previosly I want to gather more information. May be there is just my misunderstanding/misconfiguration... There was a bug, in bugs.gentoo.org, concerning grub's savedefault feature: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=63445 That was in grub-0.95. Now I have grub-0.96 installed. I've tried to reproduce mentioned above bug. so I've created grub.conf like this: timeout 30 default saved fallback 1 splashimage=/grub/splash.xpm.gz # For booting GNU/Linux title GNU/Linux root (hd0,1) kernel /vmlinuz root=/dev/hda6 lapic=on savedefault 1 # For booting Windows NT or Windows95 title Windows XP SP2 rootnoverify (hd0,0) makeactive chainloader +1 savedefault But any attempt to boot any of that ends with an: Error 1: Filename must be either an absoulute pathname or blocklist. If I understand correctly the output before this error grub proces root and kernel instructions without errors, but fails on the savedefault. _______________________________________________ Bug-grub mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-grub
