Hello All,                                                                      
                               

I have sent this message earlyer this morning, but i do not think it
showed up on the list because i was not subscribed, so i decieded to
subscribe to the list and send it again. I appologize if someone got it
twice
                                                                                
                               
I just instelled grub-0.90 and weirdness started to happen...                   
                               
                                                                                
                               
grub > configfile (hd0,1)/boot/grub/menu.lst                                    
                               
Segmentation Fault                                                              
                               
                                                                                
                               
I narrowed it down to be the following 2 lines:                                 
                               
                                                                                
                               
serial --speed=57600                                                            
                               
terminal --timeout=5 console serial                                             
                               
                                                                                
                               
If i comment them out everything works fine.                                    
                               
                                                                                
                               
Now, if i fire up grub CLI

console                                                                         
                               
                                                                                
                               
grub> terminal serial

After thet i downgraded to grub-0.59.1                                          
                               
and was really surprised to see that the problem still there, even though       
                               
it used to work before upgrade.                                                 
                               
                                                                                
                               
I reinstalled all the stage files but the problem still there.                  
                               
                                                                                
                               
Does anyone know what causes that ? And no i did NOT use --disable-serial       
                               
                                                                                
                               
Btw, whis is what gdb tells me
