Were you really using GRUB 0.94 ?  Only GRUB 2 has the "ls" command.

Anyway, can you please check if this bug still applies with latest GRUB 2, and if it does, reopen it?

Thanks

I've two physical IDE hard drives. One on the primary master, and the other one on the primary slave. The capacity are 120 GB and 80 GB. I use fdisk on Linux to partition them. The first one has 255 heads and 63 sects. per cyl., 4 partitions (NTFS/NTFS/Linux/Linux swap), the second one has 16 heads and 63 sects. per cyl., 2 partitions (NTFS/Linux). I've linux kernel vmlinuz and initrd.img on /dev/hdb2, while I'm trying to boot them from grub command line, Grub lock up and lose responding to the user.

I typed: kernel (hd1,1)/... and press <tab> to have grub read the file list on (hd1,1), the program deadlock.

Also, I typed: ls (hd1,..., and press <tab> after ",", grub can display a incomplete list (I remember the list not quite exactly):

(hd1,0), NTFS...
(hd1,1), (dead here)

I guess, Grub cannot recognize the geometry (16 heads, 63 sectors) of my second hard drive correctly.

Please try to fix it.
