Follow-up Comment #1, bug #30143 (project grub): The same thing happened to me once (reboot on set root=(loop)) when I was testing this feature of grml 2010.04. I couldn't reproduce it though, so I thought that it was just a fluke (until seeing this report).
I just tried again, and was able to successfully boot: http://grml.deb.at/grml_2010.04.iso using: http://prdownload.berlios.de/supergrub/super_grub_disk_hybrid-1.98s1.iso The one time I was hit by this I was testing with qemu, so I don't think that the bug is hardware specific. Could you create a bootable grub rescue image with "grub-mkrescue --output=rescue.iso" and attach it to this bug report? Hopefully the problem will be reproducible with this image. (If you compress the image with xz it should just barely make it under the attachment size limit) _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?30143> _______________________________________________ Message sent via/by Savannah http://savannah.gnu.org/ _______________________________________________ Bug-grub mailing list Bug-grub@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-grub
