Hi All,
In GRUB 2, stage 1.5 is eliminated, so way i am getting the following error
during installing the GRUB2:
grub-setup: warn: your embedding area is unusually small. core.img won't fit
in it
Well, there basically is still a stage 1.5 in the sense that GRUB needs
to embed some code in a stable (non-filesystem) location on disk.
In GRUB Legacy, Stage 1.5 was its own piece of code separate from Stage
2. GRUB 2 has a modular design, in which the embedding ("stage 1.5") is
created with some of these modules -- sufficient modules to load the
rest of the modules from one of your filesystems (the rest of the
modules corresponds to "stage 2"). It's a better design -- but there
was no way that it could eliminate the need for embedding on BIOS
platforms (i.e. most consumer laptops/desktops -- GRUB Legacy supported
only BIOS platforms, GRUB 2 supports some others also,each of which is
different).
