--- Begin Message ---Package: grub Version: 0.97-53 Severity: important Hi, I just upgraded the to latest kernel, and I discovered my grub menu was altered in a wrong way. First, the first sectors of my hard drive have a FreeBSD 7.2 installation, which was not detected correctly. Second, all the entries for debian kernels where wrongly assigned to (hd0,8), rather they should have been assigned to (hd0,7). cat /etc/fstab # /etc/fstab: static file system information. # # <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass> proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 /dev/hda8 / ext3 errors=remount-ro 0 1 /dev/hda6 /home ext3 defaults 0 2 /dev/hda7 none swap sw 0 0 /dev/hdb /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto 0 0 Here's a snippet of grub current product: title Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.26-2-686 root (hd0,8) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.26-2-686 root=UUID=5c541ed2-f5d5-43f3-9821-400045c8af40 ro quiet initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.26-2-686 The expected behaviour: title Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.26-2-686 root (hd0,7) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.26-2-686 root=UUID=5c541ed2-f5d5-43f3-9821-400045c8af40 ro quiet initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.26-2-686 and in the end of the list include other operating systems like FreeBSD: title FreeBSD 7.2 root (hd0,a) chainloader +1 Thanks, Oz N -- Package-specific info: *********************** BEGIN /boot/grub/device.map (hd0) /dev/hda *********************** END /boot/grub/device.map *********************** BEGIN /proc/mounts /dev/disk/by-uuid/5c541ed2-f5d5-43f3-9821-400045c8af40 / ext3 rw,errors=remount-ro,data=ordered 0 0 /dev/hda6 /home ext3 rw,errors=continue,data=ordered 0 0 *********************** END /proc/mounts *********************** BEGIN /boot/grub/menu.lst # menu.lst - See: grub(8), info grub, update-grub(8) # grub-install(8), grub-floppy(8), # grub-md5-crypt, /usr/share/doc/grub # and /usr/share/doc/grub-legacy-doc/. ## default num # Set the default entry to the entry number NUM.

--- Begin Message ---Apologies; this wasn't sent as part of the dak rm action. I'm doing this by hand. Since this was manual, this opens the chance for me taking action by mistake. I got the list of bugs via UDD, and am closing via -close on BCC. I spot checked about 10 of the bugs, and they're all src:grub. The COUNT matches the tracker page, so I'm sending this. If I have closed a bug that's not about bin:grub or src:grub, please do re-open the bug. paultag We believe that the bug you reported is now fixed; the following package(s) have been removed from unstable: grub | 0.97-84 | source grub-legacy | 0.97-84 | amd64, i386 ------------------- Reason ------------------- ROM; dead upstream, replaced by grub2 ---------------------------------------------- Note that the package(s) have simply been removed from the tag database and may (or may not) still be in the pool; this is not a bug. The package(s) will be physically removed automatically when no suite references them (and in the case of source, when no binary references it). Please also remember that the changes have been done on the master archive and will not propagate to any mirrors until the next dinstall run at the earliest. Packages are usually not removed from testing by hand. Testing tracks unstable and will automatically remove packages which were removed from unstable when removing them from testing causes no dependency problems. The release team can force a removal from testing if it is really needed, please contact them if this should be the case. We try to close bugs which have been reported against this package automatically. But please check all old bugs, if they were closed correctly or should have been re-assigned to another package. Thank you for reporting the bug, which will now be closed. If you have further comments please address them to [email protected]. The full log for this bug can be viewed at https://bugs.debian.org/1110934 This message was generated automatically; if you believe that there is a problem with it please contact the archive administrators by mailing [email protected].
