Package: grub Version: 0.97-65 Severity: important Hi,
since the last grub upgrade in wheezy I always get a black screen with a command prompt ("grub>") when booting. After some time I can run the normal grub menu by entering "normal". Then I can select my kernel and boot up without further problems. This is quite strange. If I enter "normal" to early then I just get a fresh command prompt and after some time (minutes) it seems as the command cannot be used, too. So I run "normal" several times and after a minute or so it gets me to the boot menu. Any idea why this happens? Is there anything I can do to debug this? Thanks in advance.
