I think I saw the same when i used grub a few months ago. Very slow drawing of the menu.
But then, my NVIDIA system is strange anyway. All kernels, exept when compiled with VGA 16 or RIVA framebuffer do not show _anything at all_ on screen. Lilo shows up ok, even in graphical mode, than it sets console to VGA and the screen turns black until X starts; switching to console after that works just fine. (thus: even without framebuffer). It happens on all 2.4 kernels since 2.4.8 (didn't test earlier) and also 2.2.20 which I tested yesterday. Mandrake CD boot kernel does give me something on screen however. So i was wondering if there's a way to boot the CDROM kernel from my HDD? just to test. Might be a config thing. danny On Friday 12 April 2002 08:28 pm, you wrote: > Hello, > > Is anyone using grub with an NVIDIA video card?
