Hello,

I tried that. To no avail. :-(

I inserted DEBUG_PRINTs into cmain in stage2.c. The message is not printed and
it's right at the beginning. I did not look at init_bios_info in common.c yet.
However, since the message in cmain is not printed, I assume stage1 is faulty.
Now, what modifications where made to that part after the LAST (not the
current) release? Maybe i should mention my system configuration:
Abit BP6 motherboard, 128MB RAM, 2 Celeron 466, EIDE Hard disk, SCSI-Controller
By the way: The disks work in my other computers, i.e. grub boots ok there.
Any ideas? Volker
