No, this means someone provided a patch, which the grub maintainers could or
not use to fix the problem in an upload to unstable.

You could apply those patches to the grub package and rebuild it otoo.
 



Nothing makes my palms sweat faster than tinkering with grub...  :(

good luck ;)

 




I patched up my /etc/lvm/lvm.config and now the kernel package installs 
clean.  It won't successfully boot, however.  It hangs with:


...
Waiting for /sys/block/sdb/dev
...
/sys/block/sdb/dev seems to be down
...


The /dev/sdb device is where my root filesystem is at.  Not quite sure 
why the kernel can't find it...


Any ideas?

One other thing.  When I try to --purge the package, I get this:

Known grub bug, try playing with /etc/kernel/postrm.d/grub or whatever script
is responsible for this.

The workaround fix is for grub-update to do output to stderr and not stdout, i
believe, being exclusively ppc, i have not much knowledge or interest in grub.

Friendly,

Sven Luther
