Package: grub-pc
Version: 1.97~beta4-1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
When selecting the "Chainload into GRUB 2" menu entry in the
grub-legacy still in the MBR, I get these error messages:
error: bios disk read error
Entering reascue mode...
error: cannot get C/H/S values
And then I get a prompt that does not understand "help" so I'm
guideless.

OK. It seems plausible that Vladimir's r1990 would have fixed this, as
mentioned in http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=550632#10:
2009-12-25 Vladimir Serbinenko <phco...@gmail.com>
* kern/i386/pc/startup.S (grub_biosdisk_get_diskinfo_int13_extensions):
Ignore return status if CF is cleared.
(grub_biosdisk_get_diskinfo_standard): Likewise.
I'm therefore going to close this for now. Lionel, if it recurs for
you, of course, feel free to follow up and reopen this bug.
Thanks,
