Package: grub-pc
Version: 1.97~beta2-1
Severity: important

Hi,

I know, the bug report is not directly related to debian...but the
users have to be warned :
So with the GRUB1 I don't have any problem to boot linux or winXP. I
migrate to GRUB2 this morning; after the installation of os-prober,
update-grub and reboot, winXP crashes with a blue screen of death 1
second after the login window. I can't do anything...Is it a known
proble, that GRUB2 and winXp are not "friend" or a configuration
problem ?

Best regards,
Guillaume
