So far it looks as though the > failure is somewhere in grub_font_init. I'm not too knowledgeable about grub, but have been messing around with font configuration myself yesterday. Just an idea: AFAICS 'grub-mkconfig' (i.e. 'update-grub') will set grub.cfg to load fonts From=20/usr/{local/,}/share, not /boot, which failed in my case, and may be causing trouble for you. What happens if you put your fonts to /boot and update grub.cfg accordingly? I.e. add to (/usr/local)/etc/default/grub the line GRUB_FONT=3D/boot/grub/fonts/euro.pf2 and run update-grub,=20 David =2D-=20 GnuPG public key: http://dvdkhlng.users.sourceforge.net/dk.gpg Fingerprint: B17A DC95 D293 657B 4205 D016 7DEF 5323 C174 7D40 --=-=-= Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFOLuLhfe9TI8F0fUARAsgYAJ414x0cv0IzBKMrFjg4GMVfQPqQLACgmPzq d2xJz3lGycwnfD67NZI4+ps= =V/L9 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-=-=--
