It does have a console redirection feature, in fact, and I had to disable it for the same reason. It is possible that there is some interaction there. I tried it in several configurations, and I didn't take notes, but I think that I made one attempt with the BIOS console redirection disabled but with GRUB still installed. I cannot take the server down again to test this, unfortunately. If you are confident that GRUB is behaving correctly in this respect, I am comfortable blaming the BIOS and this bug can be closed. -- - mdz _______________________________________________ Bug-grub mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-grub
