Bug#606845: grub-common: "Autochck program not found. Skipping autocheck", but sure that mbr.bin works !

[yellow]

Package: grub-common
Version: 1.98+20100804-8
Severity: important

Dear sir,

my grub.cfg contains:
menuentry "Windows XP  (on /dev/sda2)" {
        set root='(hd0,msdos2)'
        chainloader  (hd0,msdos5)/mbrwinxp.bin
}

xp boots up, but the problem is that it stops giving this error:


Autochck program not found. Skipping autocheck


no way to get grub2 working with windows xp and linux all tother



I boot with pmagic live linux cdrom, and do

dd if=/mountedsda5/mbrwinxp.bin of=/dev/sda bs=512 count=1

and windows XP boots and no error message.


I would like to have dual booting : XP and LINUX.

Please HELP !! No one knows how to fix that since grub2 is a complicated machine :( 

All teh best

Grub rocks
