Package: grub-pc
Version: 1.96+20080724-2
Severity: normal
I did "grub-install sda" and selecting Windows in the Grub2 menu returns
"invalid identifier". When selecting Linux after trying Windows it returns "you
have to load a kernel first". I can boot Linux after a reboot and Linux is
always OK whithout trying the Windows entry first.
Windows is on sda3 (SATA) and Linux on hda2 (PATA). In the console it says
root=hd1,2 when Linux works. It's root=hd1,3 after trying the Windows entry.

Hello Sladan,
I just had the chance to talk with Bean about your report, which knows
more about this windows/chainloading stuff.
"invalid identifier" is probable returned from Windows bootsectorcode or
ntldr.
grub2 doestn't contain that string in it's sourcecode.
The problem is probable just the missing map, so grub loaded from hd0
but windows from hd1
By the way the `drivemap' patch is still not yet included upstream.
I think it just doestn't make sense to leave this report still open.
But you know where to find me on IRC :)
