grub legacy support is indeed removed from grub-installer now (see above upload comment).
However, grub is apparently still required when building new AMI instances for EC2. I think it probably best not be removed until we can ascertain its use. I've asked the CPC team already. According to the AWS docs: http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/create-instance-store-ami.html grub-legacy is still used to build images. I've used an approximation of that logic to try to make a new AMI, and it looks like things still work without it, except that the status monitoring then fails for the instance. ** Changed in: grub (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete ** Changed in: grub (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => High ** Changed in: grub (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) => Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre (cyphermox) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1611740 Title: remove grub, superseded by grub2 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub/+bug/1611740/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
