Package: grub-pc Version: 1.97+20091125-1 Severity: normal
Hi, I wanted to confirm the bug for the package I upgraded to today. And for those who like me are sitting at the prompt and don't know what to do, here is what I did: * booted from knoppix to access /boot/grub/grub.cfg * determined kernel version * booted again into grub rescue, typing: insmod help insmod ext2 insmod linux16 set root=(hd0,1) linux16 /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.31-1-686 root=/dev/hda1 ro initrd16 /boot/initrd.img-2.6.31-1-686 boot The above must be fixed to the settings from your grub.cfg. I'm glad linux16 did work. "insmod linux" did not work because of the gettext problem. Kind regards Sebastian -- Package-specific info: *********************** BEGIN /proc/mounts /dev/hda1 / ext3 rw,relatime,errors=remount-ro,data=ordered 0 0 /dev/hda5 /home ext3 rw,relatime,errors=continue,data=ordered 0 0 *********************** END /proc/mounts *********************** BEGIN /boot/grub/device.map (hd0) /dev/hda *********************** END /boot/grub/device.map *********************** BEGIN /boot/grub/grub.cfg # # DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE # # It is automatically generated by /usr/sbin/grub-mkconfig using templates # from /etc/grub.d and settings from /etc/default/grub # ### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/00_header ### set default=0 insmod ext2 set root=(hd0,1) search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set c1f10a1f-cc0e-4f85-ba9d-833dc59ae916 if loadfont /usr/share/grub/unicode.pf2 ; then set gfxmode=640x480 insmod gfxterm insmod vbe if terminal_output gfxterm ; then true ; else # For backward compatibility with versions of terminal.mod that don't # understand terminal_output terminal gfxterm fi fi set locale_dir=/boot/grub/locale set lang=de insmod gettext set timeout=5 ### END /etc/grub.d/00_header ### ### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/05_debian_theme ### insmod ext2 set root=(hd0,1) search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set c1f10a1f-cc0e-4f85-ba9d-833dc59ae916 insmod png if background_image /boot/grub/moreblue-orbit-grub.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_linux ### menuentry "Debian GNU/Linux, with Linux 2.6.31-1-686" { insmod ext2 set root=(hd0,1) search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set c1f10a1f-cc0e-4f85-ba9d-833dc59ae916 linux /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.31-1-686 root=UUID=c1f10a1f-cc0e-4f85-ba9d-833dc59ae916 ro quiet initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.31-1-686 } menuentry "Debian GNU/Linux, with Linux 2.6.31-1-686 (recovery mode)" { insmod ext2 set root=(hd0,1) search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set c1f10a1f-cc0e-4f85-ba9d-833dc59ae916 linux /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.31-1-686 root=UUID=c1f10a1f-cc0e-4f85-ba9d-833dc59ae916 ro single initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.31-1-686 } menuentry "Debian GNU/Linux, with Linux 2.6.30-2-686" { insmod ext2 set root=(hd0,1) search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set c1f10a1f-cc0e-4f85-ba9d-833dc59ae916 linux /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.30-2-686 root=UUID=c1f10a1f-cc0e-4f85-ba9d-833dc59ae916 ro quiet initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.30-2-686 } menuentry "Debian GNU/Linux, with Linux 2.6.30-2-686 (recovery mode)" { insmod ext2 set root=(hd0,1) search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set c1f10a1f-cc0e-4f85-ba9d-833dc59ae916 linux /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.30-2-686 root=UUID=c1f10a1f-cc0e-4f85-ba9d-833dc59ae916 ro single initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.30-2-686 } ### END /etc/grub.d/10_linux ### ### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/20_memtest86+ ### menuentry "Memory test (memtest86+)" { insmod ext2 set root=(hd0,1) search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set c1f10a1f-cc0e-4f85-ba9d-833dc59ae916 linux16 /boot/memtest86+.bin } menuentry "Memory test (memtest86+, serial console 115200)" { insmod ext2 set root=(hd0,1) search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set c1f10a1f-cc0e-4f85-ba9d-833dc59ae916 linux16 /boot/memtest86+.bin console=ttyS0,115200n8 } ### END /etc/grub.d/20_memtest86+ ### ### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/22_invaders ### menuentry "GRUB Invaders" { insmod ext2 set root=(hd0,1) search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set c1f10a1f-cc0e-4f85-ba9d-833dc59ae916 multiboot /boot/invaders.exec } ### END /etc/grub.d/22_invaders ### ### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober ### ### END /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober ### ### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/40_custom ### # This file provides an easy way to add custom menu entries.
