Package: grub-pc
Version: 1.98+20100804-14
Severity: normal
Hi,
The parttool command is documented to be used to set a primary partition
as active. Setting the Windows partition that grub is chainloading must
have the active flag set in order for Windows to boot properly.
Here is an example menu entry from the grub.cfg file which is missing
the parttool command to set the chainloaded partition as active,
menuentry "Windows 7 (loader) (on /dev/sda2)" {
insmod part_msdos
insmod ntfs
set root='(hd0,msdos2)'
search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set 9a0286ed0286cda7
chainloader +1
}
--
Thanks,
Jeffrey Sheinberg
