Package: grub-pc
Version: 1.96+20090317-1
Severity: grave
--- Please enter the report below this line. ---
Note: This bug report is for 1.96+20090826-3, I downgraded to the squeeze
version to make system bootable again.
I just let aptitude update grub-pc to 1.96+20090826-3. I do not know the
earlier version, but I guess it was one version before, cause if I still
had the squeeze one it wouldn't have updated to the unstable
automatically.
On booting up today I got:
[Linux-bzImage, setup=0x2c00, size=0x25a070]
vga=792 is deprecated. Use set gfxpayload=1024x768x24,1024x768 before
linux command instead.
unaligned pointer 0x700ba
Aborted. Press any key to exit.Operating system not found
I also tried with another kernel with the same result.
Then I booted into grml, overwrote the swap partition and recreated it via
mkswap in order to make sure the TuxOnIce snapshot is invalidated to avoid
data loss in next boot.
Then I chrooted to my debian system after bind mounting /dev, /proc, /sys
to it, downgraded grub-pc to 1.96+20090317-1 from squeeze and ran grub-
install.
I thought about running grub-install for the grub-pc from unstable, but I
read the current sid version might be broken anyway[1], thus I thought I'd
better downgrade to the squeeze one in order to get a working system
quickly again. I could try updating to the sid one again, without running
grub-install manually and then I run it manually and see whether it fixes
the issue. So you could know whether its grub itself or a missing grub-
install.
Anyway the expected result is: After an update of grub-pc package the
system boots up manually. Thus if a new version is incompatible to the old
stage 1 the upgrade process has to force a grub-install IMHO or at least
strongly recommend it. I don't remember seeing anything about this in
debconf questions. And if a new version of grub-pc doesn't work on my
ThinkPad T42 it shouldn´t enter testing ;)
This is on an IBM ThinkPad T42.
