No site under that url.
But I´ve got some problems here right now and i don´t know any help
right now...
The situation: sda1 is windows, sda2 is sarge (install half a year ago),
sda3 is sid (installed 3h ago), sda6 is swap and sda7 is OpenAFS cache.
While sid install I choose install grub in mba.
Ok, my grub menu showed to much entries, I shortend the list to 3
entries (sid, sarge and windows). All three entries are booting without
any errors. And I changed the default entry to "saved".
After that I copied my menu.lst to the sarge system.
And now grub-reboot 1 or grub reboot 2 just boots into menu entry 0...
WTH is going on?
Do I miss something special?
I attached my menu.lst to this mail.
