Yep that works great and a lot easier than recoding the progress bar so it goes up instead of sideways ;) Thanks.

Ok so I've got a very strange problem and I'm pretty sure it's EFI / secure boot related. I would just turn it off but apparently you can't turn off EFI on a Veriton X4620G. I think what's happened is this:
Installed GA when 1 HDD was in the system
Added a 2nd drive to copy some ROMs across, then I think syslinux reinstalled/upgraded when the system had 2 drives attached.
Now it'll only boot if both drives are attached, if I remove the ROM drive it fails to boot, I get the GA progress bar but it seems to be trying to fsck the missing ROM drive and gives up booting when it can't find it.
Now I'm waiting for an SSD to turn up so I'll probably just copy my config off and reinstall GA again, but I'm wondering if there's some way I can reinstall/reconfigure syslinux so it'll boot with just the one drive attached. Any ideas?
Substring:
This scenario is hard to believe nor explain

I think what's happened is that I installed GA with two HDDs attached to the system, when I remove one Groovyarcade fails to boot as it tries to fsck the missing disk. The disk isn't in /etc/fstab, there must be another table syslinux uses.
I gave up trying to figure out what was going on and decided to just wait for the new drive to turn up.

It's just the root= parameter, it uses the drive GUID
