Hi all,
I am running grub version 1.99-4 .
$ dpkg -l grub-pc
Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold
| Status=Not/Inst/Conf-files/Unpacked/halF-conf/Half-inst/trig-aWait/Trig-pend
|/ Err?=(none)/Reinst-required (Status,Err: uppercase=bad)

ii grub-pc 1.99-4 GRand Unified Bootloader, version 2 (PC/BIO
I am trying to run grub in interactive mode (which means it outputs
stuff a screenful) and then I can see what is going right or wrong.
I saw the info.grub and came to know about pager=1 thing.
I did see the files /etc/default/grub and /boot/grub/grub.cfg
I do not understand why the pager=1 option does not work.
What I tried to do is on the grub-menu use e to edit 2.6.39. kernel
menu entry and modified the line from :-
linux /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.39-1-amd64 root=UUID=somealphanumericUUIDno
ro init=/sbin/bootchartd quiet
to
linux /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.39-1-amd64 root=UUID=somealphanumericUUIDno ro
init=/sbin/bootchartd pager=1
The change was just from 'quiet' to 'pager=1' . Then to boot pressed
F10. While the booting happened, it did not halt/pause after
information of 1 screenful had passed.
Can somebody tell me what am I doing wrong ?
Btw I also tried using :-
linux /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.39-1-amd64 root=UUID=somealphanumericUUIDno ro
as well as
linux /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.39-1-amd64 root=UUID=somealphanumericUUIDno ro pager=1
both these options also did not work.
Looking forward to info.
