I reformatted the hard disk, installed Vector Linux 5.9 Light, ran zcat
on /proc/config.gz, copied the resulting file to a USB flash drive
formatted with the ext3 file system, reformatted the hard disk, and
redid the LFS project (I took the opportunity to write so

Ok, I patched grub with the files from Ubuntu, didn't help.
So I bzipped all my files, installed Ubuntu,

No problem. Sorry if it sounded gruff. It's been a wet rainy day today
and I haven't been feeling well.
I take it you use LFS on PowerPCs then? More help testing the JH branch

Jeremy, thanks for the correction. I use LFS on a lot of Macs, but

Careful what 'facts' you spread around here.
Does GRUB work with Open Firmware? The Mac Mini may be Intel-based,
but it doesn't have a PC BIOS (which is what you would normally use
with GRUB). It uses Open Firmware. I would think that you would need
to use yaboot.

Hi
I've just installed LFS SVN-20080423 on a new Mac Mini (Intel) but the
computer doesn't start (no OSX, only one partition for Linux). All I see
is:
GRUB Loading stage1.5.
GRUB loading, please wait...
There is no error message, nothing. I'm a little bit puzzled, as this is
