It's possible that GRUB is set up to boot from this seperate boot partition that is unmounted, and is reading the grub.conf from there? While you somehow also have a /boot/grub directory with GRUB and grub.conf installed there as well? I would mount the /boot partition on md0 and have a poke round there - see if you have another GRUB and grub.conf installed there that is being used? If so, add another dummy entry to that, telling you where that grub.conf file is, for diagnostics at boot time. As mentioned by someone else, you really need hiddenmenu to be commented out, so you can see where GRUB is getting it's grub.conf file from. Kind Regards, Keith
