1 Hi there
2
3 So after the recent thread here about 32bit/64bit and some arguments from a
4 friend, I made the switch from 32 bit to 64 bit (with a clean install from
5 scratch of course). There’s one big problem I’m having: I cannot see the Grub
6 (legacy) boot menu. It still functions alright, but I don’t see it.

8 When I switch on the machine, after POST I see the "loading grub" and stage
9 1.5 message, but then the screen isn’t updated. I can still do my selection
10 and press Enter, and then I see the "loading kernel..." message without a
11 clearing of the screen first.
12
13 Any idea what this is? I re-installed Grub and did grub’s own setup
14 procedure, and all files in /boot/grub are from the time of the last emerge.

16 Happy remaining weekend.

20 you aware that they scanned your address book and spammed around about it?
