Recently I had to do a reboot. I get the following 'grub' screen
title Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.26-2-686
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.26-2-686 root=/dev/hda1 ro quiet
initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.26-2-686

If I allow it to select default the computer seems to go into a loop. If
I select any of the alternate except the very last option it seems to
loop ie continuous reboot.
Something has gone wrong but I don't know what -- if I put the # sign in
front of all lines except the last set will that then become default and
boot only kernel 2.6.24-1-686(single user mode)? I really don't want to
play with grub but if I have a long power outage and the computer shuts
down and I'm not around the darn thing will just reboot continuously and
my wife who also uses this computer will have words to say about my
choice of OS's.
