Package: grub-pc
Version: 1.99-23.1
Severity: minor
While upgrading grub, I got the following warning message. In the
debconf window, grub recommends that user select all provided opitons
(which are the whole disk and the individual partitions) to install grub
to. On following the recommendations, the following warning gives an
impression that something terrible has happened.
Setting up grub-pc (1.99-23.1) ...
Installation finished. No error reported.
/usr/sbin/grub-setup: warn: Attempting to install GRUB to a
partitionless disk or to a partition. This is a BAD idea..
/usr/sbin/grub-setup: warn: Embedding is not possible. GRUB can only be
installed in this setup by using blocklists. However, blocklists are
UNRELIABLE and their use is discouraged..
Installation finished. No error reported.
