Package: grub-pc
Version: 1.96+20080228-1
Severity: grave
The upgrade-from-grub-legacy left me with a system that would not boot.
Instead, I got (something like) an invalid device error. When I ran
'set', I saw that root was set to '(fd0)' and prefix to (I think)
'(fd0)/boot/grub'... despite the fact that this system has no floppy
drive!
Setting prefix to '(md0)/boot/grub', loading the normal module and then
issuing the normal command allows me to boot up.

Ok. I bit the bullet, purged, deleted, installed and did a full
grub-install rather than just chainloading. And it all seems to work
fine; root is set to (md0) and the system loads the graphical menu by
default rather than dropping to the rescue shell.
I assume you could then boot fine and the problem is now fixed.
If that's wrong please feel free to reopen the bug.
