[buug] GRUB dumb grub

Hey guys,

I've enjoyed the past couple of meetings. And, I'm still having trouble with
GRUB. Here's what my hardware configuration looks like:

Here are my grub.conf and device.map files. I've checked in my bios and they
point to the right drives.

# grub.conf generated by anaconda
#
# Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file
# NOTICE:  You have a /boot partition.  This means that
#          all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /boot/, eg.
#          root (hd2,0)
#          kernel /vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00
#          initrd /initrd-version.img
#boot=/dev/sdb1
default=0
timeout=5
splashimage=(hd2,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
hiddenmenu
title Fedora Core (2.6.11-1.1369_FC4smp)
    root (hd2,0)
    kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.11-1.1369_FC4smp ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00
rhgb quiet
    initrd /initrd-2.6.11-1.1369_FC4smp.img
title Fedora Core-up (2.6.11-1.1369_FC4)
    root (hd2,0)
    kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.11-1.1369_FC4 ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 rhgb
quiet
    initrd /initrd-2.6.11-1.1369_FC4.img
title WindowsXP
    rootnoverify (hd1,0)
    chainloader +1


device.map


(fd0)    /dev/fd0
(hd0)    /dev/sda
(hd1)    /dev/sdb
(hd2)    /dev/hdb



All I get when I boot is:

GRUB and then a bunch of random characters that are impossible to type.


By the way, there is no fd0, but I don't think that should matter should it?

Let me know what I'm doing wrong.

Thanks,

-Walt
