Thanks! I've applied that updated patch, and GRUB seems to install okay, but when I boot I don't get the standard GRUB menu, I just get dropped into the GRUB console...my menu.lst looks like this:

# (0) Arch Linux title Arch Linux root (hd0,0) kernel /vmlinuz26 root=/dev/mapper/system_vg-root_lv ro initrd /kernel26.img

I'm a little confused on the root declarations...I'm assuming the root (hd0,0) should be pointing to the actual /boot partition, and then the root kernel parameter points to the actual / partition (in this case an LVM partition), correct?

Seems correct, but you explain it a little confusing. I hope the example clears some things my grub: # (0) Arch Linux title Arch Linux root (hd0,0) #kernel /vmlinuz26 root=/dev/sda3 init=/sbin/bootchartd ro vga=865 kernel /vmlinuz26 root=/dev/sda3 ro vga=865 initrd /kernel26.img my 'df -h': Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/sda3 15G 8.7G 5.4G 62% / none 1001M 208K 1001M 1% /dev none 1001M 12K 1001M 1% /dev/shm /dev/sda1 38M 5.9M 31M 17% /boot /dev/sda4 94G 73G 16G 83% /home (ps: Hi everybody, I'm new on the list, this is my first post) -- Jeroen Op 't Eynde jeroen@xprsyrslf.be http://xprsyrslf.be
