Keep your LiveCD available to reboot! :-) I tested the svn2059-60.1 build on my current Zenwalk installation. It would boot here, but I have it installed to superblock of my ext3 partition, so that might be the difference. Therefore I installed grub2 to the MBR, but like that it would work too. But I noticed two other problems: * If I drop to console with 'c' from the menu and then reload the menu with 'configfile (hd0,3)/boot/grub/grub.cfg', 'prefix' is unset and I can't boot. If I drop then back to console I can set 'prefix' properly to '(hd0,3)/boot/grub' and boot from console, but configfile won't work. * With the 'linux' loader as opposed to the 'linux16' loader, I would always get a verbose splash, although I force a silent one with 'splash=silent'. My assumption was that the kernel parameters are ignored at all, but passing a wrong root resulted in a error. So either only 'splash=silent' is ignored or its something completely different. I think the problem is related to the one described in "New linux loader doesn't like vga=1". Andreas
