> Ok, another in the continuing saga. When I upgrade Grub2 which is frequently, I get the following error message when I reboot:
Booting 'Debian Gnu/Linux, Linux 2.6.30-1-686
error: unknown argument '--no-floppy'
failed to boot default entries.
press any key to continue.
If I press any key I see the edit screen of Grub and it only contains the one
line:
set root=(hd0,1)
If I reboot it with CTRL+ALT+DEL and restore the default script I can edit
that and remove the offending '--no-floppy' part of the line and then boot
normally with the CTRL+x command
my solution to this in the past has been to 're-edit' the following file:
/boot/grub/grub.cfg
where I take out all the references to '--no-floppy'
This is part of that file edited:

}
===================================================================
All references to a floppy are removed. I don't have a floppy and there isn't
one mentioned in the bios, so..
Question: If I commented out every line in the file starting with:
#search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set 8c502a23-b2ab-4670-b4e8-86d79b595aa5
would the same thing be accomplish without screwing things up?
Question: is there a way to prevent this file from being replaced every time
Grub upgrades or would that not be wise?
