I'm using this /sbin/grub program as a tester of my config file... and it does not recognize savedefault command but auto complete this command. /sbin/grub does not boot anything but exits (I would have much more problems if it could load another kernel and reboot). > > > Is it related to SATA or is it a bug in GRUB? > > Now after deleting all entrys related to save it does not boot either. > > Not related to SATA.

(dot) can cause not reading of my config file by grub - that's my mistake, centos does not have it and it boots. But I still don't know if the behaviour of /sbin/grub with savedefault is normal. It worked with 0.95 GRUB on centos (or GRUB ignored this command). -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
