Ah, thanks for clearing that up. Again, sorry for the confusion. The problem, then, seems to be that grub is going into rescue mode when it first comes up. On my machines, at least, it looks for a floppy, can't find one, gives up, then manages to go into its normal boot mode after all. Do you know why it would be doing this? I can't find any settings anywhere to invoke recue mode on initial boot (and it doesn't sound like it's something you'd need anyway). I haven't been able to find any documentation on it either; I'm loth to dig into the source code, but I'm prepared to do that if there's no other way. Admittedly, this is not a serious bug (the only real effect is that the boxes take about 30 seconds longer to boot), but it's annoying. Especially since grub2 doesn't seem to have a working savedefault option, so if I want to boot into the non-default operating system (Windows), I have to sit and wait while grub goes through its rescue disk antics. I suspect that this problem may be the cause of some other grub-pc bugs too: 549905, for one. And, as you suggested, > I think it's the same bug as 546021 from Arthur. > (Message #22 is the actual start of the bug report, he wrongly > misused the original report for his bug.) ... except that 546021 is this bug. Which one did you mean?
