This is a serious problem, it should at least detect that / isn't readable. Please could you: a) provide a sample ext4 image that grub can't read b) bring it up in [EMAIL PROTECTED] ? -- Robert Millan I know my rights; I want my phone call!

From: "Robert Millan" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> postinst is supposed to copy unicode.pff to /boot/grub when / is unaccessible. Ah ok.

A few weeks ago i tried grub2 with whole / on ext4 with extents enabled, neither grub-install nor update-grub did complained about it.

Bug#488235: grub-pc: update-grub should use unicode.pff in /boot/grub not the one in /usr/share/grub
Package: grub-pc
Version: 1.96+20080626-1
Severity: minor
update-grub by default uses the unicode.pff in /usr/share/grub which
isn't working for me, because my / is ext4 which grub can't
handle (yet)
Luckly it just doenst't load the gfxterm and vbe module and boots
without problems
If I remove the /usr/share prefix, the set root and search command in
grub.cfg as you can see below it works
As I installed grub the unicode.pff got already copied to /boot/grub
