Ah. I thought my old version (2.9.1.0.4) was fine, as no compiler errors occured. It works nicely now that I have the new 2.9.1.0.25 . However, I am having trouble with getting grub to use passwords. I type in the correct password, but it gives me a "Failed!" message. I tried running the simulator under gdb, and the password variable is correctly set to "<my password> (hd0,1)/boot/grub/menup.lst" Also, I am having trouble booting up other bootloaders off floppies from grub (with chainloader command). I tried to boot up a grub boot disk from the grub on my harddrive, and it gave me a Hard Disk Error when I typed in boot. I tried to boot up my redhat install disk, and that didn't word either. When I tried to boot up my master bootloader (lilo), from grub, it worked fine, and lilo is able to boot these 2 floppies with no problems.
