Bug#607687: Windows Server 2008 booting problem (trivial fix)

[Devin Giddings]

Package: grub-common
Version: 1.98+20100804-10
Severity: minor
Tags: patch

I dual boot Debian (testing) and Windows Server 2008 R2 on an AMD64
platform. Debian is on the first PATA drive, where GRUB is installed,
and Windows is is on a second SATA drive.

With the automatically generated grub configurations, Windows is not
able to finish booting but resets before reaching the graphical splash
screen.

The problem can be resolved by removing the line "drivemap -s (hd0)
(hd1)" from the grub configuration.

This line is generated by the 30_os-prober script. In this script
there is already an exception for Windows Vista and Windows 7. Windows
Server 2008 (and 2008 R2) are also flavours of those two, and so
should also be added to as exceptions.

Here is the diff for the fixed file:

/etc/grub.d/30_os-prober

114c114
<       Windows\ Vista*|Windows\ 7*)
---
>       Windows\ Vista*|Windows\ 7*|Windows\ Server\ 2008*)


Best regards,
