I agree, sorry for being so stupid before. Now that I have checked in the code and added printk I see: [ 0.000000] DDDD param=BOOT_IMAGE, val=.../boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32-rc3... [ 0.000000] DDDD param=root, val=.../dev/sda3... [ 0.000000] DDDD param=ro, val=...<NULL>... [ 0.000000] DDDD param=acpi_osi, val=...!Windows... [ 0.000000] DDDD param=2006, val=...<NULL>... [ 0.000000] DDDD param=nmi_watchdog, val=...0... [ 0.000000] DDDD param=reboot, val=...pci... which confirms your interpretation. Bummer. I have filed a bug against grub-pc on Debian and the bug report will be Cc-ed to this list. I guess we should simply pull the plug on grub2 and get rid of it. Hopefully that is something they will care about. Now the only thing I want to know what this acpi_osi stuff was for ;-) Best wishes Norbert ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dr. Norbert Preining Associate Professor JAIST Japan Advanced Institute of Science and Technology prein...@jaist.ac.jp Vienna University of Technology prein...@logic.at Debian Developer (Debian TeX Task Force) prein...@debian.org gpg DSA: 0x09C5B094 fp: 14DF 2E6C 0307 BE6D AD76 A9C0 D2BF 4AA3 09C5 B094 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- KIRBY MISPERTON (n.)
