(one that doesn't contain any sensible data, so that you can put it in some public URL) Or otherwise, see if you can put your /usr filesystem somewhere, although I can't garantee that it wouldn't contain any sensible data (particularly, in unused blocks). -- Robert Millan I know my rights; I want my phone call!

I've found that 'insmod gfxterm', 'insmod vbe' and 'terminal gfxterm' result in a corrupt screen with grey blocks instead of text when I comment out the 'font' line, but when I add the 'font' line back in, I have the reboot occuring immediately. Replacing 'unicode' with 'ascii' causes the crash too. I copied unicode.pff off to /boot/grub and changed grub.conf, and... it worked. So it seems the bug is to do with reading from an xfs partition.

Can you try commenting out the "background_image" line as well? Also, try running cat on that file from grub-emu too. Thank you -- Robert Millan I know my rights; I want my phone call!

No, when I run grub-emu, I can access files on the xfs partitions, e.g. (hd0,5)/share/grub/unicode.pff. The only strange behaviour was "error: invalid arch dependent ELF magic" when insmod-ing (hd0,2)/boot/grub/vbe.mod.

Did this happen on earlier versions of grub2 ? What happens if you rename /boot/grub/grub.cfg ? Do you get a rescue prompt? Can you reproduce the problem with grub-emu ?

Bug#463081: grub2: Machine reboots after 'Welcome to GRUB!' message
Package: grub2
Version: 1.95+20080128-1
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks the whole system
After upgrading this morning, my laptop (Dell Latitude D820) rebooted
immediately after "Welcome to GRUB!" appeared. The BIOS went through a
'slow' boot, indicative that the last reboot was unexpected.
I've filed this bug early to prevent other people being caught out with an
unbootable system.
