Perhaps command line is not passed to loader correctly, you can verify it with the OSX loader: set root=(hd0,2) chainloader /System/Library/CoreServices/boot.efi -- -v boot Please try this out, if parameter -v is passed to the loader, you will see console screen before switching to GUI. >every time I've tried Ubuntu with a different kernel... it has problems. >Ubuntu has a fancy initrd, modules, lots of patches, Upstart as init, >and who >knows what assumptions about the boot process... but maybe.

Ubuntu is based on debian, the process should be similar. -- Bean _______________________________________________ Grub-devel mailing list Grub-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/grub-devel
