Package: grub Version: 0.97-2 Severity: critical Justification: breaks the whole system
After installing grub 0.97 and doing a simple setup the system is unbootable. The same behaviour was observed on an old Dell Dimension 4100 and a new Dell Optiplex GX270. This may be the same as bug 341535, but it's happening on machines other than a IBM thinkpad and using ext2 filesystems noy xfs. When the system random garbage gets printed on the screen. Here's a typescript of the grub setup: republic:~# grub Probing devices to guess BIOS drives. This may take a long time. GNU GRUB version 0.97 (640K lower / 3072K upper memory) Minimal BASH-like line editing is supported. For the first word, TAB lists possible command completions. Anywhere else TAB lists the possible completions of a device/filename. ] grub> find /grub/menu.lst (hd0,0) grub> root (hd0,0) Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83 grub> setup (hd0) Checking if "/boot/grub/stage1" exists... no Checking if "/grub/stage1" exists... yes Checking if "/grub/stage2" exists... yes Checking if "/grub/e2fs_stage1_5" exists... yes Running "embed /grub/e2fs_stage1_5 (hd0)"... 16 sectors are embedded. succeeded Running "install /grub/stage1 (hd0) (hd0)1+16 p (hd0,0)/grub/stage2 /grub/menu ..lst"... succeeded Done. grub> quit republic:~# exit Script done on Wed 04 Jan 2006 01:49:59 PM CET -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.14-1-386 Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Versions of packages grub depends on: ii libc6 2.3.5-7 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libncurses5 5.5-1 Shared libraries for terminal hand grub recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
