Package: grub2
Version: 1.97~beta3-1
Severity: important
During my daily upgrade, Grub2 was installed. During the installation, I was given the option to chainload Grub2 from the Grub-legacy menu.lst file. I elected to try Grub2 in this manner. My menu.lst was backed up and a new menu.lst was written. The new menu.lst has a stanza to chainload to Grub2. In Grub2, the menu is populated from /boot/grub/grub.db. This file contains only the stanzas for sda1.
update-from-grub-legacy , update-grub, update-grub2 were not installed although man pages for these were installed. Not able to install with update-from-grub-legacy. Running a reinstall on grub-pc completed the install.
