Well, I was very suspicious that it had left my system in an unbootable state, with nothing in /usr/share/doc/grub-common to indicate how to make it bootable ... no README.Debian etc >> I think I will downgrade to the old grub > > Please don't, please try grub2 :) If you call grub-install then the > *.img and *.mod files get copied to /boot/grub/ which it needs. Ok done and it works: thanks for the new boot loader. Please note that I think it is vitally important to include a README.Debian file that includes at least the following instructions 1. grub-install "(hd0)" 2. update-grub It seems that if the above steps aren't taken the user will be left with an unbootable system. Should I file a bug report for this? Thanks again, Nick.
