What happens is that grub is installed, but is not used as a boot loader, hence no /boot/grub directory exists. Here is the output: % sudo sh -x /var/lib/dpkg/info/memtest86+.postinst configure 1.70-2 + set -e + '[' -x /sbin/lilo ']' + '[' -r /etc/lilo.conf ']' + '[' '' '!=' noninteractive ']' + grep 'image.*=.*/boot/memtest86+.bin' /etc/lilo.conf + echo 'You seem to have an entry for memtest86+ in /etc/lilo.conf.' You seem to have an entry for memtest86+ in /etc/lilo.conf. + printf 'Run lilo now [y/N]? ' Run lilo now [y/N]? + read c n + '[' n = y ']' + '[' n = Y ']' + which update-grub + update-grub Searching for GRUB installation directory ... No GRUB directory found. To create a template run 'mkdir /boot/grub' first. To install grub, install it manually or try the 'grub-install' command. ### Warning, grub-install is used to change your MBR. ### Cheers, -- Adeodato Simó dato at net.com.org.es Debian Developer adeodato at debian.org - In Italy, for 30 years under the Borgias they had warfare, terror, murder, bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, and the Renaissance.
