Hi Laurent / everybody,

Could you / anyone else for whom grub1 works
(/ideally/ someone with a Sony VPCZ12 notebook and 1080 panel)

send me your / their menu.lst config from grub-1?

...

Because I am working with grub2 guys to figure out why grub2 does not
work and grub1 works - and I don't succeed yet to install grub1
(probably because I don't use the dmraid -f imsm, but mdadm for my intel
bios-support sw-raid (aka fakeraid;)).

That would be great.

Thanks!

Knuth
