Hi all, to start linux (SuSE 9.1) on my notebook I must pass "apm=off" on boot. Since that notebook has to be used by my daughter (and she doesn't have any idea about what linux is, of course) I tried to add that option into grub configuration. No success (and I don't know why).
Here is my grub configuration:
title SuSE linux kernel (hd0,5)/boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/hda6 vga=0x305 spalsh=silent

So the word splash is spelled spalsh? That is the typo I was referring to with "^^^^^^" under it. And that is most likely the reason you are having problems. Grub encounters an error and stops processing any more parameters on the line after the error, in this case "spalsh=silent". -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989, linux since 1994, SuSE since 1998 * Only reply to the list please* "The day Microsoft makes something that doesn't suck is probably the day they start making vacuum cleaners." -Ernst Jan Plugge
