Thanks for your response Mark.
I was able to get the Grub menu but there was only one kernel choice.
I'll try in single user mode and get back here.
As for Supermicro, i was using Tyan before but their support (and
associated website) was very bad (last time i used it was 2 years ago,
maybe it's better now, dunno...). If we exclude Supermicro and Tyan,
i'm not sure were i could go for "OEM" servers. I don't like HP, Dell,
etc.: Expensive and they use a lot of "for them only" parts + they try
to sell packages that are often not what i want.
Thanks again.
