I can assure you though the only changes I made in the script from 2031 to 2059 was the version number though. Installation was standard "upgradepkg", then I ran grub-install (device). Could it be that something didn't copy over? I'm using ext3 filesystem, where I was using xfs, but again 2031 works fine. >> What happened? > > GRUB cannot find some module, probably "minicmd".

One thing I'll mention, but I don't believe it plays a part, is that we just started using the latest gcc 4.3.3? > It looks like the failure happens before grub.cfg is loaded, so the > contents of grub.cfg is irrelevant at that stage. > -------- Ok, so either something failed to compile or I built it incorrectly. Included find the build text, which may be of help. I did not see any errors. The mail list wouldn't take the large text file, so I'll post it on my download site for you to grab with the build script. http://zenwalk.pinguix.com/user-accounts/BandiPat/files,etc/build-grub2.sh http://zenwalk.pinguix.com/user-accounts/BandiPat/files,etc/grub2-svn2059-build.txt thanks again, Pat
