Bug#558312: grub_gettext not found

[Sebastian Bremicker]

Package: grub-pc
Version: 1.97+20091125-1
Severity: normal


Hi,

I wanted to confirm the bug for the package I upgraded to today. And for
those who like me are sitting at the prompt and don't know what to do, here
is what I did:

* booted from knoppix to access /boot/grub/grub.cfg
* determined kernel version
* booted again into grub rescue, typing:
  insmod help
  insmod ext2
  insmod linux16
  set root=(hd0,1)
  linux16 /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.31-1-686 root=/dev/hda1 ro
  initrd16 /boot/initrd.img-2.6.31-1-686
  boot

The above must be fixed to the settings from your grub.cfg. I'm glad linux16
did work. "insmod linux" did not work because of the gettext problem.

Kind regards

Sebastian
