Well, thanks for the heads-up; that seems to be a change from the previous behaviour (and also means that the wiki entry needs updating; the Handbook seems to have been updated). I'll change my grub.conf. But it's good to know that the previous behaviour still works (so it's more like deprecated rather than obsolete). Holly -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
