Well, the exact error message was gone by the time I got to send the e-mail, but in fact none of the configured operating systems worked at all. Linux failed with something like "Kernel must be loaded first" IIRC. But even Memtest86+ and Windowses failed to boot, with a different error message. I actually managed to locate and boot the kernel and the initrd from the grub command line despite this, but then the initrd never managed to find the root partition (it just waited indefinitely for the it to come up). I don't know if it's the same bug but it went away after I set GRUB_DISABLE_LINUX_UUID _and_ upgraded to 1.96+20080621-1. Unfortunately I cannot investigate much further since I cannot risk messing up this system just now. Cheers, Marcus
