Bug#630226: grub-pc_1.99-6_amd64.deb failed to upgrade while not grub-pc_1.99-6_i386.deb?
I finally get confirmation I was looking for at https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/GRUB2#MBR_aka_msdos_partitioning_specific_instructions and mentioned link https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/24103. So I manage to increase this space to 2Mb then the installation of the release grub-pc_1.99-14 (and dependencies) is now successful :) On 02/11/2012 09:43 PM, Joel Soete wrote: Hello φ-coder, Sorry for so late reaction, but I would like to be sure that I well understand. # fdisk /dev/sda Command (m for help): p Disk /dev/sda: 300.1 GB, 300067970560 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 36481 cylinders, total 586070255 sectors Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes Disk identifier: 0x00066cce Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 * 63 996029 497983+ fd Linux raid autodetect /dev/sda2 996030 586070254 292537112+ 5 Extended /dev/sda5 996093 149002874 74003391 fd Linux raid autodetect /dev/sda6 149002938 299001779 74999421 fd Linux raid autodetect /dev/sda7 299001843 449000684 74999421 8e Linux LVM /dev/sda8 449000748 586070254 68534753+ 8e Linux LVM shows me the start of the first slice (sda1) at 63 sectors (aparently the default of cfdisk).

Hi, On October 18, 2011 05:04:43 PM Vladimir 'φ-coder/phcoder' Serbinenko wrote: RTFM www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/html_node/BIOS-installation.html#BIOS-inst allation While I appreciate the response, I hope you can see how it's not entirely useful to me. This setup was configured through the Debian Installer when the system was originally installed and from what I gather from reading the TFM, what it seems to indicate is that the Debian Installer didn't set it up correctly and now I'm screwed. So what are the options? Keep the package held for all eternity (since previous versions of the package do work), or wipe and reinstall the system hoping that the installer does a better job this time? Any tips on where to go from here would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Todd -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Hi all, UPS died on me last night and the machine shut down, now on boot I get error: symbol not found: 'grub_divmod 64_full' It's pretty critical for me to at least find a work around since my machine is now an expensive paper weight. Any help would be greatly appreciated. The issue for me is happening in 32 bit env with a configuration otherwise identical to the original reporter (/boot on LVM) Thanks.

Package: grub-pc
Version: 1.99-8
Followup-For: Bug #630226
Same problem here. It doesn't matter which device I try to write it to they
all produce they same error message. Is this still being looked into? Is there
a package I can downgrade to? I assume my machine won't successfully reboot
until the issue is resolved...
