Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: grub
I'm not sure when it happened because I only reboot every 3 - 4 weeks
but it "looks" like a grub update added almost 15k lines to my menu.lst
file (looks like a bunch of duplicates). When the boot loader launched,
all I could see was blank screen. If I used the arrow keys I'd see
garbage. The machine would continuously reboot without showing anything.
I booted the machine via the install cd and finally tracked it down to
the menu.lst file.
