Re: How to translate menu.lst entry for grub2?

[Felix Koop]

Unfortunately I didn't get any feedback. Is anyone here with sufficient knowledge to help me debug the problem? 

I can boot successfully Windows in Safe Mode, but when booting in Normal mode it hangs after having seen the running vertical bar for a while. The screen then goes blank, then completely black and then it shows no further reaction. Any idea where I might modify the entry to get it to boot?
