Package: grub Version: 0.97-27 Followup-For: Bug #399168 For the records, grub-disk actually works, if you rebuild it (!)
Eventhough ext2fs image fails under both Etch (0.97-27) and Lenny (0.97-28) grub-disk, Both images boots when I recompile them. # Debian/Etch Official Package : $cd /usr/share/grub-disk/ $ls -al *ext2* -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 69498 Mar 30 2007 grub-0.97-i486-pc.ext2fs.gz $gzip -dc grub-0.97-i486-pc.ext2fs.gz > /tmp/grub-etch.ima $file -k /tmp/grub-etch.ima /tmp/grub-etch.ima: Linux rev 1.0 ext2 filesystem data $qemu -hda /tmp/grub-etch.ima ....
