Public bug reported: As reported on the Grub developer's mailing list (http://osdir.com/ml /grub-devel-gnu/2009-07/msg00387.html ), Grub 2 has a bug that prevents it from reporting sufficient information about the partition table when chainloading other boot loaders.
Among others, this affects users who want to chainload extlinux (part of the syslinux package) from Grub2. I believe, this refers to the same bug that was discussed by the Syslinux author at http://syslinux.zytor.com/archives/2006-October/007527.html I forward-ported the patch from the Grub mailing list, and it fixes the problem for me. The patch is attached to this bug report. ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Grub2's chainloader cannot load extlinux (syslinux) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/469568 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
