I made a grub boot cd using the instructions in the gnu grub manual.
when it makes the iso it changes the file names to 8 letter names so
splash.xpm.gz becomes splash_x.gz argh. and menu.lst~ becomes menu0000.lst
When it boots it will boot to the default xp partition or if you hit a
key it will allow you to pick a menu item by arrow keys. But there is no
display. You see only an under bar cursor in the upper left of the
screen. Is the screen blank because the splash image fails? What video
mode is assumed on a vga system?
grub ver with linspire 5.0.59 i believe.
menu.lst =
# this file is edited, the
# system will stop modifying it. To allow the system to resume
# management of this file, remove it and run /sbin/jiffyboot
default=3
