Fantastic. At boot time, I pressed `c' and got a grub command line. Then I
entered those commands, the same written in menu.lst: root...,
kernel... etcetera. And... after the `kernel' line and `enter', grub
produced the same error:

Error 2: Bad file or directory type

As I said, those settings are copied from Lenny's menu.lst. For a strange
reason they don't work from Etch, neither by hand.

Ok, next you should try the tab-completion to find the correct file
name. My guess is, once you have the correct filename you'll know what's
wrong.


Pressing the TAB key produces the same error as above. All the keyboard is
altered under that Grub prompt: e.g.: if i want to type `-' I have to type `?'
on my keyboard. So the problem *might* be that the TAB key is associated to
something else. *Might*, and it's impossible to me to find what.
