Package: grub2
Version: 1.96+20080626-1
Severity: important
installed a small/simple debian with d-i lenny rc2. the installation is
done in a unique extended partition, that is, all is installed in
/dev/hda5.
grub2 works ok if i install on mbr but fails if i try to install it in
the root partition (/dev/hda5). i've also tried, unsuccessfully to
install in other partitions (hda1,hda6).
i have also problems with post-etch versions of grub 1. i'll file a
separate bug in a few minutes...
