Can you try running each command in the menu entry manually to see where the freeze actually happens? If the freeze happens after the "initrd /path/to/initrd" command then it's almost certainly a bug in grub. If the freeze happens after "boot" (every menu entry has an implied "boot" command at the end) then it's more likely a firmware bug or a bug somewhere in the kernel preventing a framebuffer from successfully being created by / handed off to the kernel. No framebuffer = no kernel output and apparent freeze. Sometimes the "noefi" kernel parameter can work around problems between [U]EFI firmware and the linux kernel. -- Jordan Uggla (Jordan_U on irc.freenode.net) _______________________________________________ Help-grub mailing list Help-grub@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-grub
