Hi!
GRUB 0.5.97 seems to not handle kernel parameters given on the kernel line to a
linux kernel:
fdisk -l:
Disk /dev/sda: 255 heads, 63 sectors, 1232 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 * 2 129 1028128+ b Win95 FAT32
/dev/sda2 130 1232 8859847+ f Win95 Ext'd (LBA)
/dev/sda3 1 1 8001 83 Linux
/dev/sda5 130 426 2385621 b Win95 FAT32
/dev/sda6 427 1232 6474163+ b Win95 FAT32
Partition table entries are not in disk order
Disk /dev/sdc: 255 heads, 63 sectors, 4492 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sdc1 1 1 8001 83 Linux
/dev/sdc2 2 129 1028160 7 HPFS/NTFS
/dev/sdc3 258 4492 34017637+ f Win95 Ext'd (LBA)
/dev/sdc4 130 257 1028160 7 HPFS/NTFS
/dev/sdc5 258 576 2562336 83 Linux
/dev/sdc6 577 609 265041 82 Linux swap

Linux completely resides on sdc. Trying to boot with GRUB:
root (hd1,0)
kernel /vmlinuz initrd=/initrd root=/dev/sdc5 vga=7
initrd /initrd
seems to load kernel and initrd correctly.
Booting with 'boot' now leads to a kernel panic. Initrd isn't found and thus
the SCSI driver is missing and /dev/sdc5 couldn't be mounted. GRUB 0.5.95
didn't had any problem.
I have checked geometry given by GRUB and fdisk. There the same.
I saw some changes in how GRUB 0.5.97 handles kernel parameters and an initrd.
Maybe there is an error somewhere? Or did I overlook some change loading kernel
and initrd?
BTW: an older LILO version hadn't have problems, but a newer on has too. It
just shows L 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 ... looping forever. Only resetting the
system helps.
