Description of problem: menu.lst is changed by each disto and causes errors and confusion for other disto boot ups. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): .95, .97 How reproducible: Whenever Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: color changes, format changes, ESC key, timer, splash screens garbled, no boot to non-default Expected results: a black and white lsit of my system installations with timer clicking down, the "press ESC key' message during grub load at the bottom of screen as if it were part of the boot up process and not the disto. Additional info:
Really, this could only be a problem if you're sharing /boot between more than one distro or installation, and that will simply not *ever* work reliably. Don't do that.
The boot processes are not shared, but grub must share the menu at some point, wheather it be all titles on one menu or chained. Just don't screw with the menu as if your distro is the onnly one that owns the grub menu. Darwin
