Package: grub-pc Version: 1.99-15 Severity: grave Hello,
starting with 1.99-15 grub-pc fails to install: Setting up grub-pc (1.99-15) ... /usr/sbin/grub-setup: warn: Your core.img is unusually large. It won't fit in the embedding area.. /usr/sbin/grub-setup: warn: Embedding is not possible. GRUB can only be installed in this setup by using blocklists. However, blocklists are UNRELIABLE and their use is discouraged.. /usr/sbin/grub-setup: error: cannot read `/grub/core.img' correctly. Generating grub.cfg ... On reboot the system hangs at "GRUB ". Downgrading to grub-pc 1.99-14 fixes this. The size of core.img between 1.99-14 and 1.99-15 increased from 28751 bytes to 33045 bytes. The system is plain standard MBR with mdraid (plus dm-crypt, but not for /boot). While 28751 bytes fit well in the typical 62 sectors gap on the first track, 33045 bytes would require at least 65 sectors. I can't find any hints in changelog.Debian what's causing this huge size increase except maybe: * Build with GCC 4.6 (closes: #654727). regards Mario -- <Sique> Huch? 802.1q? Was sucht das denn hier? Wie kommt das ans TAGgeslicht?
