[SOLVED] Issues with GRUB and rc.conf

I've just performed a full system upgrade and I've found these errors:

-> When I restart my system, GRUB doesn't load at all. It takes severak seconds until it displays "GRUB Stage 1.5" and right after that it then enters in a loop displaying the message until forever

GRUB Stage 1.5
GRUB Stage 1.5
GRUB Stage 1.5
GRUB Stage 1.5
GRUB Stage 1.5

and so on.

It only happens when I restart the system from my DE. If I turn off and on the system everythings works fine again. I've also tried to reinstall grub but the problem persists, Any idea on this issue??

-> I use Xfce4 as my desktop enviroment and after the upgrade it ignores the KEYMAP entry in my rc.conf file. It is set to "es" but somehow it uses a us layout. I can change the layout in the Xfce menu but why is this happening? Why is it ignoring the rc.conf file?

UPDATE: I solved this issue by doing this: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xor … _US_layout

Any clues on the issues are appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

Re: [SOLVED] Issues with GRUB and rc.conf

UPDATE2: Surprisingly the GRUB problem does not happen to me anymore and I have not changed anything. How weird....

Anyway, this thread is SOLVED.
Thanks for reading!
