Package: grub-pc Version: 1.96+20080724-10 Severity: normal Hi all,
This was already discussed and solved upstream some time ago. In short : when using grub-pc with the jfs file system, grub fails when starting and fallback in the rescue mode. This is due to a bug (AFAIK) in the jfs way of treating trailing / A possible workaround is to remove the ending / in the grub-install script, when building the command line of grub-mkpackage --prefix=...' IIRC the experimental package solve this problem (20080831).
