Package: grub-pc
Version: 2.00-19
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
After upgrading to the latest version of grub-pc in Debian jessie, th core.img
file went from 32K to 36K. This makes it no longer possible to install grub to
the MBR. It seems that some of the modules are significantly larger than they
should be and this is making it impossible to install grub to what seems to be
a very common setup. The only thing extra I'm using is LVM. Adding RAID and LVM
support should still keep core.img under the 32K limit. This is an issue on
over 400 systems for me, so just moving the first partition over and doing a
--force will not be an option, nor should it be required.
Version 1.99-27+deb7u1 did not have this issue (but was close).
