I wonder what vt.handoff=7 parameter does. I can not find any good man for that...

BTW, if you have a nice descriptoon about : search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root

I would be happy :)


grub.cfg example:

menuentry 'FAILSAFE' --class ubuntu --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os {
recordfail
set gfxpayload=$linux_gfx_mode
insmod part_msdos
insmod ext2
set root='(hd0,msdos8)'
search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root 36286167-4eba-4a1e-a202-155c6baafa01
linux /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.37-12-generic root=UUID=36286167-4eba-4a1e-a202-155c6baafa01 ro vt.handoff=7 quiet splash
initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.37-12-generic
}

BTW2 - i can not create tag vt.handoff ;(
