I built probematic grub-legacy 0.97-73 debian package with you patch, on x86_64 and i686 architectures. Both variants work fine: - command line /usr/sbin/grub and grub-install script run without faults, - kernels boot as they should. File systems are ext3 on both my computers. So I think the problem is solved. Thank you very much! Waiting for updated version in Debian repository. -- Eugene Berdnikov
