Bug#460177: update-grub updates menu.lst with incorrect boot device
The lines between the automagic markers are auto generated and subject to change. You need to edit the default options between those markers to suit your needs.

Bug#345931: grub 0.97 doesn't work on several machines
close 345931 thanks Hi, grub-install copies the various stage* files into /boot/grub. grub shell does not. If you do not copy the stage* files then they will be incompatible with the boot sector that is installed. grub-install is the recommeneded method to install.

Now there are two methods to reinstall the grub boot sector to the new version. 1) Run the grub-install script # grub-install /dev/sda1 Installation finished. No error reported. This is the contents of the device map /boot/grub/device.map. Check if this is correct or not. If any of the lines is incorrect, fix it and re-run the script 'grub-install'. (hd0) /dev/sda # reboot = system reboots without any problems 2) Run the grub shell interactively as in the original report # grub grub find /boot/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 # reboot = Grub menu is not shown (screen remains blank); system fails to boot Conclusions: - grub-install does the right thing - the setup command in the grub interactive shell checks if the stage files exist, but apparently its setup command fails to check if they are compatible with the current version of grub I will keep the image I created this way in vmware for a while in case additional information is wanted.

Bug#345931: grub 0.97 doesn't work on several machines
Hi, Please check your menu.lst for a splashimage line. If one or more exists comment them out and try to boot again. How where the menu.lst files created? You could also try pressing 'c' for the command line interface, when the random garbage is on the screen. But I've no idea if that will work. I have seen this problem occurs when the splashimage directive points to a nonexistant file.

Bug#341897: grub: update-grub has stopped finding kernels not in /boot
My theory is, that the debian installer created those entries. or perhaps grubconf. but not update-grub.

Bug#328837: very old package, should this be removed?
I no longer use the software either and it is no longer maintained upstream. I agree with removal of the package, What should happen now?

I've done this now and your package showed up on the list. I propose to remove it. The package has not many users and there are some alternatives (worklog, wmwork) available. This usually means that your package matched some of the following criteria: [1] Your packages has not had a maintainer upload for more than three years. [2] has one or more RC bugs with no answer from the maintainer (**) [3] the state of your packages in general seems to indicate that you might be MIA [4] (if we propose a removal) it shows in popcon as having less than 100 users with the package installed. [5] the package was not released with sarge and at least ([1] and ( [2] or [3] or [4] or [5] )) was true. (**) The maintainer not answering to RC bugs refers to bugs filed more than one month before the time the check was performed. After 7 days without answer from you (the maintainer) we will reassign this bug to either WNPP (in case we propose to orphan it) or ftp.debian.org (in case we propose to remove it). The package will need an upload or an explanation for this action not to proceed. Please do *not* upload a package just to get off this list - it won't help the package at all. Maintainers should be responsive and feel responsible for their packages without needing other people to force them to do work. Sometimes, finding a new maintainer or even removing the package completly from the archive is better for Debian's users. Thanks!
