Let's see an irc conversation of the future. noob> Hey My Grub loads the linux kernel but then nothing happens. master> noob, if Grub loads the linux kernel then if it does not boot it's usually a linux kernel problem not a grub one. noob> What should I do then? master> Go to #linux channel and ask there please. The problem here is that user has seen in the screen: Grub loading kernel and he has thought that Grub was loading actually his linux kernel what it isn't true at all. So... why don't we prompt something like: Grub loading... or Grub loading itself ? adrian15
