Um... do you mean that grub loads the latest kernel without pausing to
ask if that's what you want? Because as I understand that is intended
behavior with F11 (with F10 already, I want to say). Hold some key
during boot to get the grub menu (ctrl works well, being unused by most
BIOS's).
Ok, this is a pebkac. Apparently it's just a very short timeout now.
Keeping a key pressed after POST, but before I see any mention of grub
seems to work.
Presumably due to the possibility that grub can't find the /boot
partition.
This makes no sense. If grub was failing to find /boot, you would get a
grub error, since there would be nothing for it to boot (nor would it
find grub.conf, I think). IOW, you would get slightly farther than the
BIOS failing to find a MBR, but certainly no maintenance mode (which
implies a roughly-functional kernel and initrd).
Yes, see above.
However during the mounting stage of the boot process the /boot
partition can also not be found and I am dropped into maintance mode.
This sounds like an initrd problem to me, but I am no expert.
