Hello, I want to report some sort of misbehave in grub ;). It happens over here with grub 0.95 on the i386-platform. The problem is as such:
When the computer starts up, and the bios is set to search for a bootrecord on the 3,5"-diskdrive first, the activity-led of the diskdrive is lit for a short time while it searches for the bootrecord on the disk, wich is not inserted, wich is all fine and absolutely normal. When grub then starts up and an entry is immediately booted (within 1-2 seconds), the disk-drive-lamp will never switch off, for the rest of the uptime of the system. The drive works as usual, though. I noticed this with 3 computers for now. To reproduce this set the bios of the computer to boot from disk-drive first, then boot up (with no disk inserted) and when the grub-chooser-screen comes up immediately press enter. It was a little confusing to me, because in my thinkpad the harddisk-led it wired together with the diskdrive-led, and because i always boot one single kernel, i set the timer in menu.lst to 1 second and was a little confused why the harddisk was 'working' all the time. However, this does not affect the operation of the diskdrive nor the harddisk, and maybe it's already reported and fixed. If so, forget this email ;) Anyway a great programm, i am very happy we came 'past' lilo ;) Greetings from dresden/germany Konrad -- Konrad Schandera <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ Bug-grub mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-grub
