Bug#548648: grub-pc: chainload from legacy jumps straight to rescue and prints error: no such disk

[Josip Rodin]

Package: grub-pc
Version: 1.97~beta3-1
Justification: renders package unusable
Severity: grave

Hi,

I've upgraded from lenny to sid and tried to chainload, but sadly the new
version won't do anything useful for me. This is what it prints:

  Booting 'Chainload into GRUB 2'

root  (hd0,1)
 Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0xfd
kernel  /boot/grub/core.img
   [Multiboot-kludge, loadaddr=0x100000, text-and-data=0x7aa4, bss=0x0, entry=0
x10027c]

Welcome to GRUB!

Entering rescue mode...
error: no such disk
