Package: grub-pc
Version: 1.96+20080724-10
Severity: normal
Hi all,
This was already discussed and solved upstream some time ago. In short :
when using grub-pc with the jfs file system, grub fails when starting and
fallback in the rescue mode. This is due to a bug (AFAIK) in the jfs way of
treating trailing /
A possible workaround is to remove the ending / in the grub-install script,
when building the command line of grub-mkpackage --prefix=...'
IIRC the experimental package solve this problem (20080831).
Regards,
Benoit.

I do remember talking about this with Robert, but in the context of a
cosmetical problem not about JFS and I haven't found anything yet on the
grub-devel archives.

Yes it does, Robert commited this `workaround' on 2008-08-02 upstream.
So closing the report then, it'll go to unstable after lenny is
released. This doestn't seem that important for me to fix it for lenny.
Feel free to bring that double slash problem with JFS up again upstream
on [EMAIL PROTECTED] if it's still a more general problem.
