[Bug 354176] Re: Updating from grub - grub-pc does not properly write out a transition menu.lst
Besides the proposed patch, it's still possible to specify the root device via UUID. In my case, the postinstall script only wrote root $UUID where my original menu.lst said uuid $UUID, so in the command-line editor I changed this: root34717cad-31f4-491a-bcc3-2df67a04bbda kernel /boot/grub/core.img into uuid34717cad-31f4-491a-bcc3-2df67a04bbda kernel /boot/grub/core.img Then I just hit 'b', and chainloaded into grub 1.96. -- Updating from grub - grub-pc does not properly write out a transition menu.lst https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/354176 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

I confirm this behaviour. I think this should be fixed quick because grub2 is necessary for booting from an ext4 partition. -- Updating from grub - grub-pc does not properly write out a transition menu.lst https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/354176 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
[Bug 354176] Re: Updating from grub - grub-pc does not properly write out a transition menu.lst
Sorry, last statement is obviously wrong since ext4 is compatible to ext3, it isn't necessary to upgrade to grub2 to boot on a ext4 partition and I can confirm that grub is actually able to boot a 9.04 ubuntu freshly formatted to ext4. -- Updating from grub - grub-pc does not properly write out a transition menu.lst https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/354176 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
