Package: extlinux Version: 2:4.05+dfsg-3 Severity: normal This latest version fails to boot windows 7. The error is something like "cannot read master boot record on sector 0". I reverted to the previous version (4.05+dfsg-2) and it works correctly. I tracked it down to chain.c32, if I install -3 version, and after running extlinux-update manually copy chain.c32 from -2 version, windows 7 boots properly.
Also interesting is that chain.c32 files differ, although I don't see any change between -2 and -3 that would warrant it. Maybe it was compiled with different compiler?
