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?
Here's the relevant entry in os-prober.cfg:
label o0
menu label Other OS, Windows 7 (loader) (on /dev/sda1)
kernel chain.c32
append hd0 1
