Bug#564936: grub-pc: unexpectable reboot

[Jaap Keuter]

Hi,

I had the same problem going from 20100107 to 20100115. After a very brief 
"Welcome to GRUB" message an instant cold boot. That's what gets you stuck :(

Knoppix to the rescue, that showed me the disk and partitions were oke. Then I 
mounted the / partition and renamed boot/grub/grub.cfg. I also took note of the 
grub commands in the menu entry normally used.
A reboot gave me the grub prompt, and simply entering the menu entry commands 
followed by 'boot' sent the kernel on its marry way.

Rolling back to 20010101 resulted in a bootable system again.

Could this have anything to do with the disk layout? See:

Thanks,
Jaap
