My Linux GRUB OS Options are:
Linux-nonfb
Linux
Windows
Failsafe
Floppy

The default was" Linux" and the boot hung.
When I selected "Linux-nonfb", Linux booted fine.
I have searched everywhere for what "Linux-nonfb" stands for.
Why does "Linux" hang? (was set as default by install of Mandrake 7.2)
Why does "Linux-nonfb" work?
