Public bug reported: Binary package hint: grub
Ubuntu 7.10 installation, everything works OK, BUT during the last months there were changes that become mainstream and now mkfs.ext2/3 can/will make by default the inode size 256 (instead of the previous 'standard' of 128) and the GRUB version used in Ubuntu CAN NOT BOOT from EXT2/3 with inode set to 256 !!! There already IS a patch to fix that in GRUB (and it seems to be already used in Mandriva). Obviously the GRUB package update should be directed at both all previous versions and the new 8.04 ... ** Affects: grub (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- GRUB needs priority update https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/197951 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
