Bug#487445: grub-pc: freezes after two keystrokes

[Paul van Tilburg]

Package: grub-pc
Version: 1.96+20080621-1
Severity: normal

Hello,

I have installed grub-pc and am currently still using the
chainload-from-grub-to-grub2 option.  However, when I choose "Chainload
into GRUB 2" option, and then try to press KP_Down twice to get to the
kernel I want, it freezes just before that.  I have to reset my Macbook
(santa-rosa version).
It might me that the switch from grub to grub2 is causing this freezing.
On the other hand, if I replace the now still working grub setup in
which I _can_ select the right kernel.. I might never be able to fix it
again.

Regards,
Paul
