[tlug] Hangup on etch boot

[Charles Muller <acmuller@example.com>]

Regarding my intermittent hangup on Etch boot: I've got a Knoppix 
installation on the same hard drive, which boots up fine. I'm wondering 
if there is something in the Knoppix boot command that makes the 
difference(?)

This is the section in the grub boot list on Etch:

  title		Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.17-2-686
  root		(hd0,7)
  kernel		/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.17-2-686 root=/dev/sda8 ro
  initrd		/boot/initrd.img-2.6.17-2-686
  savedefault

And this is for Knoppix:

# This entry automatically added by the Debian installer for an existing
# linux installation on /dev/sda7.
  title		Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.17 Default (on /dev/sda7)
  root		(hd0,6)
  kernel		/boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/sda7 ro
    ramdisk_size=100000 lang=us apm=power-off nomce vga=791
  initrd		/boot/initrd.img
  savedefault
  boot
