Having the same hanging issue at the Grub 1.5 stage on brand new R200 Dell servers running OpenSuse 10.3. The terminal timeout is set to 10 and we get 10 press any key to continue messages and then a full system hang requiring a hard reboot.
If we do press any key on a connected console (using Dell's Serial Over Lan) or locally before then end of the timeout then it boots fine so seems to be a bug in continuing at the end of the wait time. Removing the terminal line from /boot/grub/menu.1st seems to fix the issue on our servers. The console in this case is sent by BMC to both the local screen and the remote console with no timeout so works a treat. This may only work with Dell's BMC/SOL but thought I'd mention it in case anyone else has spent a day getting frustrated with this like we have. -- grub failing load stage 2 when serial console --stop=[1|2] https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/220336 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
