Subject: grub-pc: Annoying output from grub-probe Package: grub-pc Version: 1.98+20100804-4 Severity: normal Tags: upstream
*** Please type your report below this line *** When updating grub-pc grub-probe is too verbose, se below. Is msdos1 vfat, msdos2 ntfs and msdos3 ext2/ext3??? Furthermore I would like to know how to resolve this problem, Sent mail to grub.boot and pkg-grub-devel mailing lists but have not found a working solution yet. Need help to find one! Which option should be used??? #fsck.vfat -ar /dev/sda1 dosfsck 3.0.9, 31 Jan 2010, FAT32, LFN There are differences between boot sector and its backup. Differences: (offset:original/backup) 65:00/01 1) Copy original to backup 2) Copy backup to original 3) No action ? 1 Perform changes ? (y/n) n /dev/sda1: 9309 files, 802467/945032 clusters And then what: install-mbr, grub-install, update-grub or?? Any pointers/documentation/whatever?? =========================================== Setting up grub-common (1.98+20100804-4) ... Setting up grub-pc (1.98+20100804-4) ...
