Package: grub2-common Version: 2.00-14 Severity: critical Justification: breaks the whole system
Hi, after upgrading grub from version 1.99-27.1 -> 2.00-14 [1] the system was not able to boot. On reboot the grub rescue>' prompt was displayed. After # grub rescue> set prefix=(hdX,>)/boot/grub/grub2 # grub rescue> insmod normal # grub rescue> normal the normal grub prompt was back, and there was still version 1.99-27 installed. After another reboot i did: # grub rescue> set root=(hdX,Y)/boot # grub rescue> set prefix=(hdX,>)/boot/grub/grub2 # grub rescue> insmod part_msdos # grub rescue> insmod ext2 # grub rescue> insmod linux # grub rescue> linux /boot/vmlinuz-3.8-1-amd64 root=/dev/sdaX # grub rescue> initrd /boot/initrd.img-3.8-1-amd64 # grub rescue> boot so I was able to start the system. After normal system start, I ran: # grub-install /dev/sda # update-grub afterwards the system booted normally, grub was welcoming me now with version 2.00. It seems to me, that the grub-install, or whatever mechanism is used internally to write the new grub, was not run on upgrade.
