Hi folks,

If I try to install grub as described on

http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/grub.html#Installing%20GRUB%20natively

on an USB memory stick, then grub dies with a core dump.


# sfdisk -l /dev/sdd

Disk /dev/sdd: 1000 cylinders, 16 heads, 32 sectors/track
Units = cylinders of 262144 bytes, blocks of 1024 bytes, counting from 0

   completions of a device/filename. ]

 Filesystem type is reiserfs, partition type 0x83
grub> setup (hd1)

 Checking if "/boot/grub/stage1" exists... yes
 Checking if "/boot/grub/stage2" exists... yes
 Checking if "/boot/grub/reiserfs_stage1_5" exists... yes
 Running "embed /boot/grub/reiserfs_stage1_5 (hd1)"... failed (this is not 
fatal)
 Running "embed /boot/grub/reiserfs_stage1_5 (hd1,0)"... failed (this is not

Segmentation fault (core dumped)


(install-grub doesn't work either. It doesn't print an error message, but the boot sector is not touched.)
