This problem is related to my quandry of how to manage grub2 efficiently. It's likely to take me days/weeks to experiment and figure out what to do, exactly. I find interesting snippets about Grub 2 around the net, few well written documents. If rebooting is an unpredictable exercise, it makes kernel refinements and debugging an event for lots of cursing; not that I curse machines (too much)..... I'll post back when I've made some progress (either forward or backward). thx, James
