Package: grub-pc
Version: 2.00-14
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
Like many people, I've been hit by the "unable to boot after upgrade to 2.00-14"
bug. My problem is similar to 707653, but with a slight variation, so I wasn't
sure whether to post there or file another bug. I decided to file a new bug due
to Colin's advise in 707653.
I decided to upgrade my laptop to 2.00-14 which went by without a hitch. Then I
decided I would upgrade my desktop as well, but on the next boot I am met with
Error: file not found
grub rescue>
I tried following Michael's steps to recover (in 707653) but this is what I've
found:
# modules are instead in /boot/grub/i386-pc for some reason
> set prefix=(hd0,msdos1)/boot/grub/i386-pc
> insmod norml
symbol not found: 'grub_disk_dev_list'
> insmod linux
symbol not found: 'grub_realidt'
So presumably the rescue prompt is rendered useless... and the only way to
recover would be through livecd chroot which is what I'm using to file this bug.
I haven't actually recovered grub yet though, so the system can remain in a
nearly unmodified state for bugscript information. Let me know if I can provide
any more information this way. I will try not to change my system's state unless
prompted otherwise.
