Bug#545094: upgrade to grub2 failed, PC doesn't boot anymore, sniff

[Harald Dunkel]

Package: grub2
Version: 1.97~beta2-1
Severity: grave

After the enforced upgrade to grub2 my PC does not boot anymore.
I see the blue grub menu, but when I hit [return] I get an error
message about a file not found. Unfortunately it does not say
which file is missing.

Attached you can find my old menu.lst file. Kernel and initrd are
on a small /boot partition (/dev/sda1, reiserfs). The initrd
activates a software RAID0 using mdadm and mounts /dev/md0p1 as /.


I wonder how many systems you broke with the enforced upgrade to
grub2. Don't you think it would have been more wise to replace the
old grub in d-i, but to not touch existing grub installations?


Please mail if I can help to track this down.


Regards

Harri
