Hi all,

I'm having some problems with setting up GRUB as a bootloader for my
machine.

The setup:

/dev/hde1 is /boot, a 50M ext2fs partition
/dev/hde3 is /, about 26G of XFS

My motherboard is told to boot off of the extra IDE controller first, which
works.  LILO works with this, it has:

root=/dev/hde3
boot=/dev/hde1

int /etc/lilo.conf and this all works fine.

The relevant GRUB configs:

/boot/grub/device.map:
(fd0)   /dev/floppy/0
(hd0)   /dev/ide/host1/bus1/target0/lun0/disc
(hd1)   /dev/ide/host2/bus0/target0/lun0/disc
(hd2)   /dev/ide/host2/bus0/target1/lun0/disc

(using devfs on a 2.4 kernel, hd1 means /dev/hde)

/boot/grub/menu.lst:
default         0
timeout         5
color cyan/blue white/blue
title           Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.4.13-xfs
root            (hd1,0)
kernel          /vmlinuz-2.4.13-xfs root=/dev/hdc3 ro
title           Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.4.13-xfs (recovery mode)
root            (hd1,0)
kernel          /vmlinuz-2.4.13-xfs root=/dev/hdc3 ro single

I've followed the instructions that came with GRUB, but no matter what I
try, whenever the machine boots, I get GRUB GRUB GRUB GRUB GRUB GRUB GRUB
GRUB... just streaming down the screen.

I've searched the docs and Google, and get no hits.  This doesn't seem to be
documented anywhere.
