kernel's about 2.6.23 should perhaps check to see the version of grub. I'm not 100% sure how to do that, but I know the version is in it.
on my updates machine, I can grep grub in bootloader for 0.97, I assume it shouldn't be hard to verify that one has an appropriate version of grub when one goes to install hardy kernels. If ubuntu never shipped an incompatible grub, then perhaps its not even an issue that has to be worried about beyond a check in the kernel warning the user (and as the user must be considered a "power user" of sorts if they have a non ubuntu shipped grub and able to fix it manually by running grub-install again manually and installing the newest grub into the mbr). Albiet, this does seems to be an issue in that there can be bug in grub and updating grub doesn't really fix the part in the mbr (albiet it fixes any problem in portions stored on disk) -- upgrade from dapper to hardy fails due to old grub https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/212722 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
