That's no evidence at all that the problem is grub. You also failed to mention which kernels you are seeing this with. I saw that show up with several recent kernels. Oddly, it was also inconsistent. Sometimes the same kernel that failed as above would then successfully boot on the next try. Anyhow, I think I did see some discussion about that. Check the archives. The latest kernel (1268) seems to have solved the problem for me. -- -Paul Iadonisi Senior System Administrator Red Hat Certified Engineer / Local Linux Lobbyist Ever see a penguin fly? -- Try Linux.
