I'm doing EFI booting, so I get the option to Verify and Boot from within GRUB Legacy, but I'm having the same problem. The result is nasty. See this bug. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=817262 And check out the attached photograph, which goes by so fast I have no chance of seeing it. I only got suspicious when I thought, hmm, that verify was awfully fast. I had to remove 'rghb quiet' and also use a 1/50th shutter speed to capture the failure. -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
