A boat at the beach of Imbassaí (Bahia, Brazil) during sunset.
Imbassaí is wonderful small village directly by the Atlantic Ocean approximately 80 km north of Salvador. The former indigenous village has become a touristic center in the region, due to its amazing location and beauty. It’s directly located where a river with the same name (Imbassaí) flows into the ocean. The river separates the beaches, which are located on an offshore island, from the land. That means if you’re on the beach island you can choose between the wild saltwater of the Atlantic Ocean or the calm sweet water of the Imbassaí river.

grub question: when grub fails normal booting and drops to a grub> commandline prompt, and it's only 80x25 , is there any way to set a pager variable or something so the screenfuls of help or set output don't just whizz by uselessly? (note: I have neither serial cable or serial port on this box, if it matters.)

edit: answere by Joe W:
set pager=1

This is the massive list of GRUB sub commands that I have to wade through

I have taken a Higher Grade Android to make this photograph and luckily this camera system knows how to capture the Light of the IPS LED panel in Total Darkness.

Compliments of Open Camera Android version

I'm going to include another photograph to give you an indication of how complex GRUB is in comparison to Legacy Lilo

When I press tab twice in Rapid Succession, the whole screen is filled with commands that I can execute within the GRUB sh {command environment}

I literally have to read all the man pages of those GRUB sub commands which give me an indication that they can do what I want, just so I can pass the parameters to the kernel

GRUB has made the distance between the command prompt and the kernel much bigger!

#bash#csh#ksh

found workaround for hardware errors on critical timer tsc

snippet from dmesg

[ 0.000000] tsc: Fast TSC calibration using PIT

line [ 0.074141] clearly states that my microcode is not updated (not related to tsc)

I added tsc=unstable to the boot options in grub, so from what I read here the parameter was passed to the kernel? Can someone please verify for me if this output states that?

The warning I get is that the BIOS of this machine is broken! and that the option tsc=unstable will work around that massive bug
