problems with grub

problems with grub

[Miguel González Castaños]

Hello,

 I have Debian testing and I do not know what is happening but when I boot, instead that grub runs the default kernel after the set timeout, grub keeps waiting...Herewith my grub


default=10

## timeout sec
# Set a timeout, in SEC seconds, before automatically booting the 
default entry
# (normally the first entry defined).
timeout=3

# Pretty colours
color cyan/blue white/blue

[...]

title           Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.18 Default
root            (hd0,1)
kernel          /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/hda2 ro
savedefault

and then the rest of kernels...

Regards,

Miguel

You have a line that says: default=10
I assume that you have at least 10 kernel boot entries on your grub
menu. Also, the "default" number starts counting from 0 and not from
1.

Here is my entry on Ubuntu; perhaps it can help in some way. Notice
the 'boot' option after savedefault.

title        Ubuntu, kernel 2.6.15-27-amd64-k8 Previous
root        (hd0,1)
kernel        /boot/vmlinuz.old root=/dev/sda2 ro quiet splash
initrd        /boot/initrd.img.old
savedefault
boot
