hey guys, just stumbled upon this forum, i like it
anyways, i recently installed redhat9 with grub, i get huge delays and i don't know what it is, first after the post i get a blank screen with a blinking _ then after about 30 seconds the one stage will load then another 30 for the next, any suggestions?
thanks!

I can't say for sure......but this has happened with me too....earlier grub used to load quickly on my machine too....but once, I had a kernel panic..so I had to reinstall grub...and since that time, grub loads but with a small delay.....
Seems like in your case, that delay time is quite more......
Well...frankly, I can just suggest you try and reinstall grub again...Quite possible that grub may start loading quickly after you reinstall it.....
If you would like to go ahead with reinstalling grub, follow this method for RED HAT 9
1. Log in as root
2. give the following command
/sbin/grub-install <your-hard-disk-device-name>
for example, if linux is installed on your first hard disk then the command will be:
/sbin/grub-install /dev/hda
3. Reboot
This process is only for Red Hat 9....If you have some other distro....the procedure may be slightly different...If this is the case, wait for more suggestions....
