Small grub issue
by 3rensho from LinuxQuestions.org on (#51CM4)
Running Slack64-current and not exactly sure when this problem started (I'm usually downstairs letting the cat out when the box boots). It is minor but I'd like to resolve it. When I boot my machine the BIOS starts and after that, just before the grub menu appears, a very brief error appears. It is much too fast to read the whole thing but so far I have gotten -
Error: file / and then some path to a file presumably.
Searching this I have found several examples but they seem to lead to boot problems. In my case the Slackware grub screen appears and the system boots and runs normally thereafter.
It is possible that this started when I changed /etc/default/grub to show the Slackware grub splash screen but the items I added to /etc/default/grub are all present under /boot/grub. I've greped thru syslog, messages and dmesg output looking for the error but no luck. Does grub store error messages somewhere? Thanks for any pointers.
