Seems to work for me, but I'm using a slightly newer version of grub. If you try the package at http://people.redhat.com/~katzj/grub/ does it work better? I tested this a bit more including with your newest grub. It works all the time if run from the config file, but only without the splashimage if I run from the command line. The terminal type wasn't being reset to a console when going to boot from the command line. The Linux kernel works around this and restores state correctly, but memtest86 doesn't. I've added a patch to grub-0.93-2 which fixes this. Red Hat Linux and Red Hat Powertools are currently no longer supported by Red Hat, Inc. In an effort to clean up bugzilla, we are closing all bugs in MODIFIED state for these products. However, we do want to make sure that nothing important slips through the cracks. If, in fact, these issues are not resolved in a current Fedora Core Release (such as Fedora Core 5), please open a new issues stating so. Thanks. |
