Anything. It depends on how linux rebooted the machine, and it's never a cold boot just like on power on. I asked you on another message to try rebooting from another OS. Did you? I got it wrong then - I understood you do not have the problem with FC4. Suggestions for other OSes (assuming you do not have them installed): Knoppix as well as some other live CDs or rescue floppies, a live XP CD created by BartPE, a FreeDOS floppy, a FreeBSD live cd (I never tried any but google shows there are a few, and for rebooting I guess any should be good enough). You might also try rebooting from inside grub. Press 'c', then 'reboot'. -- Didi _______________________________________________ Bug-grub mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-grub
