Package: grub2
Version: 1.98+20100804-14+squeeze1
Severity: normal
Tags: squeeze
I have three Linux installed in my computer, two Debian and one Fedora.
Grub of Debian on /dev/sdc1 is installed on MBR, it works great.
Grub of Fedora on /dev/sdc7 is installed on Fedora's root partition,
which can be chainloadered by the Grub in MBR with following commands:
root (hd0,gpt7)
chainloader +1
Grub of Debian on /dev/sdc6 is installed on it's partition. This grub cannot
be chainloadered by the one on MBR with commands of:
root (hd0,gpt6)
chainloader +1
The error reported by Grub on MBR is:
invalid signuature
I believe this is not a upstream bug coz the Grub distributed with Fedora
works great. As far as I know, Grub distributed with Debian can ONLY
be installed on MBR, or it woun't be chainloadered.
However, I don't know where the problem is at this time.
