I think I saw the same when i used grub a few months ago. Very slow drawing of the

But then, my NVIDIA system is strange anyway. All kernels, exept when compiled with
VGA 16 or RIVA framebuffer do not show _anything at all_ on screen. Lilo shows up ok,
even in graphical mode, than it sets

yeah, we really need grub. While I use Lilo with the pretty screen
on my desktop, it doesn't display correctly on my laptop, and I prefer
on that machine to have grub. (yes, I know there is a text based lilo.

What I would like, is to have a bootable CD with a Grub menu. It then
