Description atraxas 2008-05-07 11:24:21 UTC 
The current version of grub (0.97) does not load the configuration file
/boot/grub/grub.conf
but
/boot/grub/menu.lst

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Create /boot/grub/grub.conf in installation process as described
2.unmount harddisks and reboot


Actual Results:  
grub boots into command line

Expected Results:  
grub should boot into menu
Comment 1 Graham Murray 2008-05-07 11:59:57 UTC 
Has grub not always booted from menu.lst? Which is why menu.lst is normally a symlink to grub.conf.
Comment 2 Jan Kundrát (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-05-07 12:53:32 UTC 
Nope, grub has been using /boot/grub/grub.conf for at least last two years. Passing to grub maintainers to determine if it really doesn't attempt to read /boot/grub/grub.conf at all...

should also be change in http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gentoo-x86-quickinstall.xml
might also be change for other platform.
Comment 4 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2008-05-10 09:00:44 UTC
