any reason why grub would hang on startup? i see "GRUB" after the bios stuff, and then... nothing.
a friend suggested trying windo~1 fdisk to make it a fat32 drive, wiping previous linux stuff off, then retrynig with a new linux (ext3) partition scheme. i tried that (i think) and still, hang on boot after seeing "GRUB". is there a trick i missed in writing the boot sectors?

To change from vc4 to vc5, press alt-cursorright. Going back to X from vc1 is as simple as alt-cursorleft. (It doesn't work when you're already within X11, though -- but control-alt-F1 does.)
