There seems to be version 1.98+20100 in testing, so it should work: yun:~# apt-cache show grub2 Package: grub2 Priority: extra Section: admin Installed-Size: 344 Maintainer: GRUB Maintainers <[email protected]> Architecture: amd64 Version: 1.98+20100804-4 Yet I've no good idea what to put into grub.cfg to make it work. Do I need to/can I somehow use chroot to switch to the new root partition and then use grub-install or grub-mkconfig from there so that it will create the grub.cfg as needed? _______________________________________________ Help-grub mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-grub
