Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: grub2
Lucid runs nice from grub2, but since latest updates my Windows XP partitions
wont boot any more (they worked before).
After selecting them the screen shows GRUB _ with a blinking cursors and wont
continue (soft reset works / no freeze). Especially the X64-Os additionally got
a flashing pc-speaker in this state, what really scares me.
>From Lucid both drives are accessible out of the Box, have the complete
(so far i remember) file-system-structure.
