Hi. Thought I'd get back on this. Vladimir, you were on to something with the whole UUID thing. When I make both the initial "set root" based off UUID AND the set root of an individual stanza UUID-based, rather than just each stanza being UUID based, I haven't had that black-out bug again. Also

When I try to build bzr Grub as of yesterday, I get make errors both in Linux Mint 11 and Archbang. I was just doing a plain "./configure", no jazzy options. This is the last part of the terminal output from "make": tanding -fno-builtin -Wno-undef   -MT fs/squash4_module-squash4.o -MD -MP -MF

Ah ha! The bzr command _did_ put that grub folder in my home folder after all. It's just that ./configure --help still says "Grub 1.99", so it tricked me, sending me on a hard drive search. Shouldn't it at least say "Grub 1.99_bzr" or something, so that n00bs like me can distinguish the latest

Ok, I installed bzr and ran the bzr command in terminal to download the latest Grub. Where did bzr put it on my hard drive? I saw a grub folder in my home folder, but I'm not sure if that's it because it says that it's version 1.99. Maybe that's just a folder I put there. Where is the source cod

This is using Grub 1.99. That's the highest version, right? I didn't do "noefi", what does that do? Not that I don't believe you, but if having "set gfxmode=keep" works half the time, or any at all, how can it be wrong? Does Grub just glaze over it? Jake Sent from my iPhone On Jan 4, 2012, at

Hello again, Vladimir. I know you're probably not back yet, but I figure I better get this posted while I have time and it's fresh in mind. About the blackout bug (or lack thereof), I tried 3 different things, neither of which cured the blackout. 1. Followed "set root=(hd0,gpt3)" with "search -
