Mats, I suggest you to to read the following sections of grub info manual:
* 4.3 How to make your system robust * 4.3.1 Booting once-only * 19 Invoking grub-set-default Then re-read the bug title again. Note that I didn't say I used my menu.lst for fail-safe booting. I only noted that fail-safe booting can't be configured using non-working grub-set-default as a side effect. On the other hand, I've just failed to reproduce the reported problem on another PC with grub 0.97-16.1. Unfortunately, the original configuration is not available anymore due to HDD crash. I'm going to re-install Debian testing on that PC (though with different HDD and partitions) within a week or two. If grub-set-default works there as well, I'll close the bug. P.S. While grub-set-default worked for me today, 'savedefault' command of 'grub' shell invoked from Debian console didn't work. It put some strange big number into /boot/grub/default file. But this is a story for another bug report. -- ...Bye..Dmitry. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
