Bug#632408: grub-pc-bin: fd0 read error

Miles Bader miles at gnu.org
Sat Jul 2 05:18:00 UTC 2011


Package: grub-pc-bin
Version: 1.99-8
Severity: normal



Right after the "Welcome to GRUB" line (sorry forgot the exact
wording, but it's the inverse-video line that's normally the 2nd thing
shown, before clearing the screen and showing the grub menu),
grub seems to hang for a while (~7-8 sec?), and then displays:

  error: fd0 read error

... it then pauses for a while longer, and then continues to the grub
menu (after that, everything works normally).

This system has no floppy drive at all, so it's not surprising that
grub couldn't read anything from it, but it's disconcerting that an
error message is displayed -- as the lack of a floppy is not an error
(and I think not an uncommon with configuration these days) -- and the
apparent long timeout annoying.

Thanks,

-Miles
