...it only can boot from the last option:
title Kernel-3.7.0-rc2-4-desktop root (hd0,2) kernel /vmlinuz-3.7.0-rc2-4-desktop root=/dev/system/root video=1024x600 resume=/dev/system/swap splash=silent quiet showopts initrd /initrd-3.7.0-rc2-4-desktop
But than it searches and corrects things, to find the bootstraps.
Please explain "searches and corrects" in some detail, and what you mean by "find the bootstraps". How does this selection differ in result from what happens when you try the others?
It does not matter what i change, it is always wrong.
Change using what and how to change? Are you logged in as regular user?
/boot/vmlinuz /boot/initrd
is what i wanted to be in the lines, and:
video=1024x768 resume=/dev/system/swap splash=silent quiet showopts
As i did not understand what was meant, i tried to change every line,
http://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt explains what most mean. The placement of showopts determines how much of cmdline you can see to edit when the Grub menu is on the screen to boot.
but after many tries, the result was the same dialog box and the 'boing', so i assumed another bug, and i quit.
At this point my feelings towards a fresh install grew bigger.
For editing menu.lst apparently you're trying to use the wrong tool. If there was a bug, others would have had the same problem a long time ago. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
