System booting to the GRUB prompt instead of menu
Hi everyone,
This is a question about GRUB not on Debian, but SuSE. I just felt that this is not really a Debian-specific topic so I decided to ask here so don't flame me if you don't like it..
First of all, I don't really like splash screens/pics during boot and would rather see the details so a couple of days ago I removed the option that said "splash=silent" (it was there by default) in my /boot/grub/menu.lst . Since then it has taken me to the GRUB prompt rather than showing me the menu options. I was able to boot in by typing the commands:
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/hda4 ro
initrd /boot/initrd
boot
I've tried adding that option back in and I've tried repairing GRUB, but is not able to rectify the problem. It appears to me like GRUB isn't reading from /boot/grub/menu.lst at all!! I've posted this question in various forums but so far no help whatsoever. If anyone has any suggestions, I would like to hear it.
Thanks in advance,
-Glen
