I recommend switching to Extlinux instead of GRUB. It's far more simple and stupid (i.e. doesn't try to be clever). http://www.cyber.com.au/~twb/snarf/extlinux.txt That file from Trent (most notably the Deployment section) has mostly current information on how to set it up (aside from the kernel versions etc. that are shown). -- Regards, Matthew Cengia
