Package: grub-common
Version: 1.98+20100722-1
Severity: important
*** Please type your report below this line ***
I created a Debian Sid live CD with Debian live as a rescue system.
When I booted the rescue system, and used the grub-legacy program to
reinstall grub for Debian Lenny system (installed in /dev/sda1) by:
r...@debian:~# grub-install --root-directory=/mnt /dev/sda
I got the error:
=======================================
The file /mnt/boot/grub/stage1 not read correctly.
=======================================
I downloaded the grub-common 1.98-1 from:
http://snapshot.debian.org/archive/debian/20100409T161321Z/pool/main/g/grub2/grub-common_1.98-1_i386.deb
Installed it on the Debian Sid environment, without rebooting, I ran the
same command again:
r...@debian:~# grub-install --root-directory=/mnt /dev/sda
The command ran smoothly:
=======================================
Installation finished. No error reported.
This is the contents of the device map /mnt/boot/grub/device.map.
Check if this is correct or not. If any of the lines is incorrect,
fix it and re-run the script `grub-install'.

=======================================
Apparently there is something changed in grub-common 1.98+20100722-1
that breaks the grub 1 support.
If you need more info, please let me know.
Steven.
