I can't remember, but for some (recent) background, have a look at this thread on the Gentoo fora.

I'm not saying everyone should abandon later grub versions - lots/most people have no problems. I just can't afford to have machines unavailable because of boot-time problems.
I install a lot of distros on my test-box, and I destroy the MBR semi-regularly when I want to test something. I don't need tangential problems in the mix.

I haven't bothered chasing the problem, and as I said in the other thread, don't see the point (in my case) given the limited future of grub legacy.

Edit: - thinking about it, might just be an issue with the Gentoo patches to grub .... mmmm.
Maybe everyone should forget I said anything (here).

don't waste time, use Suse instead.

No. But I imagine it's only a matter of time before it becomes open source.

open source opera sounds good but i would prefer it to stay closed source but free , leaner and better , having said that , i think the possibility of open sourced opera is still there ...

TigerLinux: I've been following your posts for a while and... I believe you are a troll. If you have an opinion, back it up with a reason. Don't go trolling trying to start a flamewar. If you are not a troll, then you know nothing about Solaris, because judging by your problems to get YaST going with SuSE, you're no Linux "Tiger" to judge or recommend either. Play nice, or don't play at all...

I recommend everyone answering to TigerLinux posts to click on his search button first and read a few of his posts. Or he is a troll or he is just deluded... don't waste your time answering him...

Perhaps you shouldn't waste anyone's time and actually give insightful replies to better answer the actual question. Instead you prompt the user to use something else without any actual reasons... which thus in return wastes not only your time but everyone who has to read stupid comments like yours.

you use it, you know it;
seeing is believing.

I'm pretty new to Linux, I've just been using it for the last few months. Admittedly I dropped windows as soon as I learned enough to depend on what I can do with open source, but that was was really just because I found I wasn't using my old OS any more so I might as well liberate the disk space. I've tried a few distros and my favourites so far have been Slackware and Suse. The reason I'm using suse primarily right now is that for a newbie it comes in handy for the transitional period when moving over from proprietry software. Having said that I am downloading Solaris 10 right now and will also return to Slack just as soon as my abilities make it more practical to handle on a daily basis. Whichever distro I've experimented with I have found the help from others on this forum wonderfully helpful, even when I have needed "spoon feeding" with unfamiliar code. It is by experimenting with various distros and therefore encountering the hurdles that come from this experimentation that I have begun to learn about what's "under the hood". I guess what all this amounts to is that I believe any OS is worth trying because, apart from anything else one of the main points of the open source philosophy is the encouragement of diversity, you inevitably learn more by solving any problems encountered, and hey, you only live once so why not look around and see what's out there.

wow ... really can feel the difference , now i'm in opera on solaris 10 , in my case i need to symlink 2 libraries to /usr/lib firstly , now no need chasing after that mouse ^_^

in fact i sort of "in the middle" of compiling this Flock browser which said to be build upon mozilla/firefox but fast and lean , at my last complie error the directory size for that build is about an awesome 550 mb (i suspect that imight be doing something wrong down here)...

i came across this flock from another forums , there are ready binaries for linux , mac and windows :: Flock
its still in an early stage ...

You may try these 2 live-cd distros of Open Solaris:
