- 2. bug
- perhaps related to the first one:
- upon boot, with default grub menu, I get erros about: error 11, can't find 
file
- if i enter my own boot options i can boot normaly
- 
- here's my grub menu:
- 
- # menu.lst - See: grub(8), info grub, update-grub(8)
- #            grub-install(8), grub-floppy(8),       
- #            grub-md5-crypt, /usr/share/doc/grub    
- #            and /usr/share/doc/grub-doc/.          
- 
- ## default num
- # Set the default entry to the entry number NUM. Numbering starts from 0, and
- # the entry number 0 is the default if the command is not used.              
- #                                                                            
- # You can specify 'saved' instead of a number. In this case, the default entry
- # is the entry saved with the command 'savedefault'.                          
- # WARNING: If you are using dmraid do not use 'savedefault' or your           
- # array will desync and will not let you boot your system.                    
- default         0                                                             
- 
- ## timeout sec
- # Set a timeout, in SEC seconds, before automatically booting the default 
entry
- # (normally the first entry defined).                                         
 
- #timeout                3

- # e.g. password topsecret

- ## DO NOT UNCOMMENT THEM, Just edit them to your needs
- 
- ## ## Start Default Options ##
- ## default kernel options     
- ## default kernel options for automagic boot options
- ## If you want special options for specific kernels use kopt_x_y_z
- ## where x.y.z is kernel version. Minor versions can be omitted.

- ## default grub root device
- ## e.g. groot=(hd0,0)      
- # groot=hd(0,4)            
- 
- ## should update-grub create alternative automagic boot options
- ## e.g. alternative=true                                       
- ##      alternative=false                                      
- # alternative=true                                             
- 
- ## should update-grub lock alternative automagic boot options
- ## e.g. lockalternative=true                                 
- ##      lockalternative=false                                
- # lockalternative=false                                      
- 
- ## additional options to use with the default boot option, but not with the
- ## alternatives                                                            
- ## e.g. defoptions=vga=791 resume=/dev/hda5                                
- # defoptions=quiet splash                                                  
- 
- ## should update-grub lock old automagic boot options
- ## e.g. lockold=false                                
- ##      lockold=true                                 
- # lockold=false

- 
- ## altoption boot targets option
- ## multiple altoptions lines are allowed
- ## e.g. altoptions=(extra menu suffix) extra boot options
- ##      altoptions=(recovery) single                     
- # altoptions=(recovery mode) single                      
- 
- ## controls how many kernels should be put into the menu.lst
- ## only counts the first occurence of a kernel, not the     
- ## alternative kernel options
- ## e.g. howmany=all
- ##      howmany=7
- # howmany=all
- 
- ## specify if running in Xen domU or have grub detect automatically
- ## update-grub will ignore non-xen kernels when running in domU and vice versa
- ## e.g. indomU=detect
- ##      indomU=true
- ##      indomU=false
- # indomU=detect
- 
- ## should update-grub create memtest86 boot option
- ## e.g. memtest86=true
- ##      memtest86=false
- # memtest86=true
- 
- ## should update-grub adjust the value of the default booted system
- ## can be true or false
- # updatedefaultentry=false
- 
- ## should update-grub add savedefault to the default options
- ## can be true or false
- # savedefault=false
