Package: os-prober
Version: 1.39
Severity: important
On an old computer I still use Sarge from time to time (my TV card
doesn't work in any later version...). I can boot the system with no
problem with chainloading, but I'm unable to boot it directly,
although the entries look correctly, e.g.
menuentry "Debian GNU/Linux (3.1) (on /dev/sdb2)" {
insmod part_msdos
insmod ext2
set root='(hd1,msdos2)'
search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set f5ce7115-77d3-433c-9abc-a604aba64dce
linux /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.20-3-k7 root=/dev/sdb2
initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.4.20-3-k7
}
After selecting the entry the computer reboots with no error message.
Regards
JSB
