This bug was fixed in the package grub2 - 1.99~rc1-4ubuntu1 --------------- grub2 (1.99~rc1-4ubuntu1) natty; urgency=low
* Resynchronise with Debian. Remaining changes: - Adjust for default Ubuntu boot options ("quiet splash"). - Default to hiding the menu; holding down Shift at boot will show it. - Set a monochromatic theme and an aubergine background for Ubuntu. - Apply Ubuntu GRUB Legacy changes to legacy update-grub script: title, recovery mode, quiet option, tweak how memtest86+ is displayed, and use UUIDs where appropriate. - Fix backslash-escaping in merge_debconf_into_conf. - Remove "GNU/Linux" from default distributor string. - Add crashkernel option. - Bypass menu unless other OSes are installed or Shift is pressed. - Allow Shift to interrupt 'sleep --interruptible'. - Reduce visual clutter in normal mode. - Remove verbose messages printed before reading configuration. - Suppress kernel/initrd progress messages, except in recovery mode. - Handle filesystems loop-mounted on file images. - Ignore devices loop-mounted from files in Linux grub.d scripts. - Show the boot menu if the previous boot failed. - Don't generate device.map during grub-install or grub-mkconfig. - Adjust upgrade version checks for Ubuntu. - Suppress "GRUB loading" message unless Shift is held down. - Adjust versions of grub-doc and grub-legacy-doc conflicts. - Fix LVM/RAID probing in the absence of /boot/grub/device.map. - Look for .mo files in /usr/share/locale-langpack first. - Make sure GRUB_TIMEOUT isn't quoted unnecessarily. - Build-depend on qemu-kvm rather than qemu-system for grub-pc tests. - Use qemu rather than qemu-system-i386. - Add a grub-rescue-efi-amd64 package. - On Wubi, don't ask for an install device, but just update wubildr using the diverted grub-install. - Enable lua from grub-extras. - Incorporate the bitop library into lua. - Add enum_pci function to grub module in lua. - Check hardware support before using gfxpayload=keep. - Build part_msdos and vfat into EFI boot images. - Put second and subsequent Linux menu entries in a submenu. - Preferred resolution detection for VBE. - Set vt.handoff=7 for smooth handoff to kernel graphical mode. - Don't ask where to install if upgrading and core.img doesn't exist. - Drop the default priority of grub2/linux_cmdline to medium. - Build with gcc-4.5 on ppc64. - Add apport hook for ProblemType = 'Package'. grub2 (1.99~rc1-4) unstable; urgency=low * Don't touch /boot/grub/grub2-installed if using the --root-directory option to grub-install (thanks, Nicolas George; closes: #614927). * Update branch_devmapper.patch, adding partitioned MD RAID support (untested) and support for probing multipath disks. * Update ntldr-img from grub-extras: - Only call ntfs_fix_mmft if the attribute to find is AT_DATA. This matches GRUB's NTFS module. - Install grubinst as grub-ntldr-img. * Fix loading GRUB from lnxboot (LP: #693671). * Update branch_embed-sectors.patch to avoid straying into first partition when embedding-area sectors are in use (closes: #613409, LP: #730225). -- Colin Watson <cjwat...@ubuntu.com> Tue, 15 Mar 2011 13:47:34 +0000 ** Changed in: grub2 (Ubuntu) Status: Fix Committed => Fix Released -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/730225 Title: grub-install trashes the ntfs partition that starts at sector 63 if one or more sectors in the embedding area is occupied by Adobe FlexNet -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
