Hi all,
First of all I hope I've come to the right place with my little bug
(from what I've read this list seems to be preferred to the tracker?).
Anyway here it goes: I have two hard drives in my notebook, and tried
installing grub (svn r1724) with it's root on the second one (/dev/sdb5

I've seen that fd1 somewhere, but I don't remember where. I guess
GRUB just defaults to that value if it cannot figure out the real

I noticed that on my 1 GHz test system running from an IDE CompactFlash
drive, loading a certain TGA image in GRUB takes about 29 seconds.
This seems pretty outrageous, so after looking at the cod
Hi,
Enabling more traces in Grub2 doesnt help too much, as the screen will have
only the last certain traces.
Is there anyway I can see all the traces.
Thanks,
