GRUB - Default entry does not boot automatically
I installed knoppix 5.0.2 to the hard drive using knoppix-installer.
I went with the Debian-like install.
I installed the bootloader to the MBR. (I think this might be the problem)
When I boot the computer I get the grub menu, but the default entry doesn't boot automatically. It boots if I just hit enter, but I would rather have it just boot automatically since I'm not going to install any other OSes. There were two entries in the menu.1st which were both the same except one had Default in the title. I removed the one without Default and tried again, but it still does not boot automatically. Here are the uncommented parts of my menu.1st:
Code:
default 0
timeout 2
color cyan/blue white/blue
title Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.17 Default
root (hd0,1)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/hda2 ro ramdisk_size=100000 lang=us apm=power-off nomce vga=791
initrd /boot/initrd.img
savedefault
boot
I've tried changing default to 1 and saved, but it still does not load automatically. Is the problem that I put it in the MBR? If so, is there any way to install it in the boot partition without doing a full format and reinstall?
