Hi folks,

        I just NetInstalled Debian = Lenny, and had to try grub2. I used LVM when
partitioning, and when it rebooted, the menu came up blank.

        I bounced it into KNOPPIX, = saw that the mounted partitions were sda1
and sda5. sda1 (/boot) mounted, sda5 could not, as it was an LVM
container.

        I poked around in the grub = directory on sda1 and found grub.cfg.
Examining this, I could see it was not doing an insmod on the LVM
module, so I added this in and rebooted. It came up, still with no = menu
item listed, and when I just waited to see what it would do, it
displayed:

Booting `

for about a minute and then spewed a zillion question marks across = the
screen continuously ;)

Any ideas about how to correct?
