It seems that, on my system at least (don't know about the original submitter), grub is going directly into rescue mode. I do not know why it should do such a thing, although one possibility is that it can't find anything suitable on the avowed root drive (according to grub.cfg on my system, the root device is the LVM /usr partition), so perhaps it goes into rescue mode in sheer disgust. The ensuing delay on my systems seem to be due to it looking for a floppy disk (which explains the "no such disk" error, because I never have one in the drive). I followed the logic in the /etc/grub.d/00_header script as best I could, and it looked like it chose the LVM /usr partition as the root device because that's where the pixmaps for the splash screen are. This seems bogus, and I gave up at that point. Perhaps somebody with more experience in the internal working of grub could explain why it does that. - -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.31.1-khufu-0 (SMP w/2 CPU cores; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages grub-pc depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.27 Debian configuration management sy ii grub-common 1.97~beta3-1 GRand Unified Bootloader, version ii libc6 2.9-25 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii ucf 3.0022 Update Configuration File: preserv grub-pc recommends no packages.
