Package: grub-pc
Version: 1.98~20100126-1 (Sid)
Severity: important
System: Debian Sid
Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-trunk-amd64 (v.2.6.32-5)
Processor: AMD Athlon X2 QL64 dual-core.
Since the most recent upgrade of grub-pc my laptop fails to boot.
Grub shows a bunch of output and ends with shutting down the PC.
Recovery mode too doesn't work, I need to boot from cd-rom with grub-rescue-pc.
I am using KMS with module radeon modeset=1.
Does this still happen if you disable KMS?
Yes, also failing to boot with disabled KMS, ending with PC shut down.
What happens if you use the legacy "linux16" loader?
This buggy version of grub-pc shows a lot more output than the
previous one.
Which output?
I don't know about 'the legacy "linux16" loader', can't find that
package and don't intend to try other bootloaders,
I'm sorry, I really don't want more booting problems.
'Which output?' I mean the output you always see on the screen when booting. It
is much more than usual.
For your information I mention I am using runit, sysvinit and file-rc (the Sid
versions) for booting.
To avoid booting failures I would suggest you put buggy versions of grub-pc in the experimental distribution
before putting them in Sid!
