Package: grub-pc Version: 1.97~beta3-1 Justification: renders package unusable Severity: grave
*** Please type your report below this line *** Hi, when running upgrade-from-grub-legacy an option is given about where to install GRUB2. However, if one hits enter without checking such option the process end without errors but GRUB2 is not installed and when the system is rebooted GRUB Legacy starts and "Error 15" (file not found) is given. The system is then unbootable and a liveCD must be used to fix the problem: boot in the pc, mount partition(s), chroot, reinstall grub-legacy (remove grub and grub-pc), reboot. The tricky question is the following (I only have one hard disk): _________________ Configuring grub-pc GRUB install devices: [ ] /dev/hda <Ok> _________________ If one hits "Enter" without checking the "[ ] /dev/hda" option the installation seems to be OK, but in fact the system will not boot. I suggest that the option should be either already checked or the <Ok> button should be "unclickable" unless the option is checked. I classified de bug as "grave" because many users could not know what to do to fix this issue.
