Package: grub-pc Severity: normal
After running grub-install /dev/sda to reinstall grub to my master boot record, I found that this problem went away. Evidently, --no-floppy option is suppored by the new version, but not by the version that was previously on my MBR. I would suggest either a) leaving the --no-floppy option out by default b) having debconf prompt to reinstall grub to mbr on upgrade Kevin -- Package-specific info: *********************** BEGIN /proc/mounts /dev/root / xfs rw,noatime,noquota 0 0 /dev/sda7 /home xfs rw,noatime,noquota 0 0 /dev/sda7 /i386/home xfs rw,noatime,noquota 0 0 /dev/root /i386/tmp xfs rw,noatime,noquota 0 0 /dev/root /i386/etc/apt xfs rw,noatime,noquota 0 0 *********************** END /proc/mounts -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (600, 'unstable'), (500, 'transitional-i386'), (500, 'transitional'), (500, 'testing'), (400, 'stable'), (300, 'experimental'), (204, 'unstable-i386'), (203, 'testing-i386'), (202, 'stable-i386'), (201, 'experimental-i386') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.30.014 (SMP w/2 CPU cores; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=en_GB, LC_CTYPE=en_GB (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages grub-pc depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.27 Debian configuration management sy ii grub-common 1.96+20090702-1 GRand Unified Bootloader, version ii libc6 2.9-18 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii ucf 3.0018 Update Configuration File: preserv grub-pc recommends no packages.
