It seems that nano automatically put root on a new line when I added a vga setting. As I was editing menu.lst to remove the newline, nano tried replacing it several times!I think I'll go and learn vi now.

You just add your change, then backspace at the beginning of the line.You can also just create a .nanorc file in your home directory and put inset nowrapand all will be well. web

I performed an update last night on Ubuntu 9.10 64 bit (I started in Ubuntu 9.04, updated in about November to 9.10). Everything seemed to go well with the update last night. Tonight I wanted to boot into Windows Vista. I got the following message when I chose the option for other OSes: "Error 11: Unrecognized device string". I noticed that it doesn't give the option for Vista. From some other forums I looked at my menu.lst file, which I reproduce here. The last two options (Windows vista and XP) doesn't appear in my GRUB menu at start up. I also include /boot/grub/device.map and fdisk -l below. Code: ## timeout sec # Set a timeout, in SEC seconds, before automatically booting the default entry # (normally the first entry defined). timeout 10 # ......................... # A bunch more comments (starting with #) that I removed.
