[YLUG] Grub

[Dr P Dupre]

OK,

I will try on Monday.

>> It hard to say, because I do not have any tracking. It says Panic !!
>> I do not see anything in the /var/log/message or in dmesg
>> Is there a way to get more information ?

> see if it's a hardware/driver related problem.
> For more information on sysrq, I'd suggest looking at the wikipedia

> search engine to find more information. If you can get a stack trace
> that will be useful to isolate the problem.
