Package: grub-pc Version: 1.96+20080621-1 Followup-For: Bug #484074
this week-end, grub-pc was broken: i cannot boot anymore i looked for how to repair: - /usr/share/doc/grub-pc/README See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install the GRUB 2 data and program files. $ ls /usr/share/doc/grub-pc/INSTALL ls: cannot access /usr/share/doc/grub-pc/INSTALL: No such file or directory - $ man grub-pc No manual entry for grub-pc - http://grub.enbug.org/Manual nothing very usefull - nobody alive on irc chan. /usr/share/doc/grub-pc/AUTHORS exists. What about the users? I am very surprised by this software, a GNU one! /usr/share/doc/grub-pc/TODO no documentation urgency at all i do believe this software should be removed from debian, until it has a decent documentation; i mean at least a repair documentation, and a configure one. Moreover, debian-installer should not use it or provide the choice with an advertising about its highly experimental status i think also that #465247 and #465401 can be merged when i moved from grub to grub-pc i did not understand how to put: - a Command line like: root=/dev/sda2 ro video=vesafb:ywrap,mtrr vga=791 init=/sbin/bootchartd - a splashimage -- Package-specific info: *********************** BEGIN /proc/mounts /dev/disk/by-uuid/f4b4a3e2-a13e-4039-a586-7e4bb38b5df0 / ext3 rw,errors=remount-ro,data=ordered 0 0 /dev/disk/by-uuid/f4b4a3e2-a13e-4039-a586-7e4bb38b5df0 /dev/.static/dev ext3 rw,errors=remount-ro,data=ordered 0 0 /dev/sda2 /boot ext3 rw,errors=continue,data=ordered 0 0 /dev/mapper/vgdisk1-lvdata_crypt /data ext3 rw,errors=continue,data=ordered 0 0 /dev/mapper/vgdisk2-lvdonnees_crypt /donnees ext3 rw,errors=continue,data=ordered 0 0 /dev/mapper/vgdisk2-lvhome /home ext3 rw,errors=continue,data=ordered 0 0 /dev/mapper/vgdisk2-lvtmp /tmp ext3 rw,errors=continue,data=ordered 0 0 /dev/mapper/vgdisk1-lvusr /usr ext3 rw,errors=continue,data=ordered 0 0 /dev/mapper/vgdisk2-lvvar /var ext3 rw,errors=continue,data=ordered 0 0 *********************** END /proc/mounts *********************** BEGIN /boot/grub/device.map (hd0) /dev/sda (hd1) /dev/sdb *********************** END /boot/grub/device.map *********************** BEGIN /boot/grub/grub.cfg # # DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE # # It is automatically generated by /usr/sbin/update-grub using templates # from /etc/grub.d and settings from /etc/default/grub # ### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/00_header ### set default=0 set timeout=5 insmod lvm set root=(vgdisk1-lvusr) search --fs-uuid --set 1426b00b-bc43-4047-8147-5b8a96682af7 if font /share/grub/unicode.pff ; then set gfxmode=640x480 insmod gfxterm insmod vbe terminal gfxterm fi ### END /etc/grub.d/00_header ### ### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/05_debian_theme ### insmod lvm set root=(vgdisk1-lvusr) search --fs-uuid --set 1426b00b-bc43-4047-8147-5b8a96682af7 insmod png if background_image /share/images/desktop-base/debian-blueish-wallpaper-640x480.png ; then set color_normal=black/black set color_highlight=magenta/black else set menu_color_normal=cyan/blue set menu_color_highlight=white/blue fi ### END /etc/grub.d/05_debian_theme ### ### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/10_hurd ### ### END /etc/grub.d/10_hurd ### ### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/10_linux ### set root=(hd0,2) search --fs-uuid --set cc380fb5-8c57-4905-97aa-6cd3b7030ea1 menuentry "Debian GNU/Linux, linux 2.6.25-2-amd64" { linux /vmlinuz-2.6.25-2-amd64 root=UUID=f4b4a3e2-a13e-4039-a586-7e4bb38b5df0 ro initrd /initrd.img-2.6.25-2-amd64 } menuentry "Debian GNU/Linux, linux 2.6.25-2-amd64 (single-user mode)" { linux /vmlinuz-2.6.25-2-amd64 root=UUID=f4b4a3e2-a13e-4039-a586-7e4bb38b5df0 ro single initrd /initrd.img-2.6.25-2-amd64 } menuentry "Debian GNU/Linux, linux 2.6.18-6-amd64" { linux /vmlinuz-2.6.18-6-amd64 root=UUID=f4b4a3e2-a13e-4039-a586-7e4bb38b5df0 ro initrd /initrd.img-2.6.18-6-amd64 } menuentry "Debian GNU/Linux, linux 2.6.18-6-amd64 (single-user mode)" { linux /vmlinuz-2.6.18-6-amd64 root=UUID=f4b4a3e2-a13e-4039-a586-7e4bb38b5df0 ro single initrd /initrd.img-2.6.18-6-amd64 } ### END /etc/grub.d/10_linux ### ### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/20_memtest86+ ### menuentry "Memory test (memtest86+)" { linux /memtest86+.bin } ### END /etc/grub.d/20_memtest86+ ### ### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober ### ### END /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober ### *********************** END /boot/grub/grub.cfg -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.25-2-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, [EMAIL PROTECTED] (charmap=UTF-8) (ignored: LC_ALL set to en_US.UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages grub-pc depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.22 Debian configuration management sy ii grub-common 1.96+20080621-1 GRand Unified Bootloader, version ii libc6 2.7-12 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii liblzo2-2 2.03-1 data compression library ii libncurses5 5.6+20080614-1 Shared libraries for terminal hand grub-pc recommends no packages. -- debconf information: grub-pc/linux_cmdline: fillme grub-pc/chainload_from_menu.lst: true -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
