The latest version of grub.exe cannot boot in a BOE E1200 notebook. It restarts when it is about to display the menu. The old version does not restart but has a black screen. After removing the statements for loading the font and background in menu.lst, the menu is normal and the boot is also normal. Currently, only this BOE notebook cannot use Chinese, and other computers boot normally. Part of the content of menu.lst is as follows: timeout 30 default 1 find --set-root /biaoji.id splashimage /BOOT/GRUB/BACK.GZ fontfile /BOOT/GRUB/FONT.GZ foreground ffffff outline title 1、Multi-mode PE find --set-root /biaoji.id chainloader /BOOT/GR2PE.BIN

Suspect that the graphics mode is using memory and conflicts with the BIOS. Try removing fontfile and keeping splashimage, what changes occur? Use the displaymem command in the grub command line to display the memory distribution. [ Last edited by 不点 on 2008-10-9 at 09:07 ]

After removing fontfile and keeping splashimage, it still restarts. The displaymem shows as follows: EISA Memory BIOS Interface is present Address Map BIOS Interface is Present Lower memory:639k,Upper memory (to first chipset hole):637888k [Address Range Descriptor entries innediately follow (values are 64-bit)] Usable RAM: Base Address: 0x0 X 4Gb+0x0, Length: 0x0 X 4Gb + 0x9fc00 bytes Reserved: Base Address: 0x0 X 4Gb + 0x9fc00, Length: 0x0 X 4Gb + 0x400 bytes Reserved: Base Address: 0x0 X 4Gb + 0xf0000, Length: 0x0 X 4Gb + 0x10000 bytes Usable RAM: Base Address: 0x0 X 4Gb + 0x100000, Length: 0x0 X 4Gb + 0x26ef0000 bytes Reserved: Base Address: 0x0 X 4Gb + 0x26ff0000, Length: 0x0 X 4Gb + 0x8000 bytes Reserved: Base Address: 0x0 X 4Gb + 0x26ff8000, Length: 0x0 X 4Gb + 0x8000 bytes Reserved: Base Address: 0x0 X 4Gb + 0xfff80000, Length: 0x0 X 4Gb + 0x80000 bytes Reserved: Base Address: 0x0 X 4Gb + 0xd0000, Length: 0x0 X 4Gb + 0x6000 bytes

The memory distribution is normal. Suspect that the hardware IO instructions used in the graphics mode are incompatible with this machine. The graphics mode should completely use BIOS INT10, and should not directly use hardware IO instructions. This work needs to be sorted out later. Currently, this problem will not be solved for the time being.

Thanks for Budian's reply and help! In order to ensure maximum compatibility, I have to not use Chinese.
