Hello All,                                                                             
                        

I have sent this message earlyer this morning, but i do not think it
showed up on the list because i was not subscribed, so i decieded to
subscribe to the list and send it again. I appologize if someone got it
twice
                                                                                       
                        
I just instelled grub-0.90 and weirdness started to happen...                          
                        
                                                                                       
                        
grub > configfile (hd0,1)/boot/grub/menu.lst                                           
                        
Segmentation Fault                                                                     
                        
                                                                                       
                        
I narrowed it down to be the following 2 lines:                                        
                        
                                                                                       
                        
serial --speed=57600                                                                   
                        
terminal --timeout=5 console serial                                                    
                        
                                                                                       
                        
If i comment them out everything works fine.                                           
                        
                                                                                       
                        
Now, if i fire up grub CLI

console                                                                                
                        
                                                                                       
                        
grub> terminal serial

After thet i downgraded to grub-0.59.1                                                 
                        
and was really surprised to see that the problem still there, even though              
                        
it used to work before upgrade.                                                        
                        
                                                                                       
                        
I reinstalled all the stage files but the problem still there.                         
                        
                                                                                       
                        
Does anyone know what causes that ? And no i did NOT use --disable-serial              
                        
                                                                                       
                        
Btw, whis is what gdb tells me
