Package: grub
Version: 0.97-13
Severity: important
Hello,
I am running Debian Etch (testing)
When I create a GRUB boot CD (using stage2_eltorito), as explained in GRUB's
web site, i find that I cannot load my hard drive kernel from grub Menu: for
example:
1. I boot with my GRUB CD (correct: it includes a menu.lst I customized for
this GRUB CD)
2. GRUB menu appears (correct: it correctly loads a splash image in my hard
drive)
3. I choose my hard drive kernel option...
4. GRUB tries to boot with it but gives: "Error 25: Disk read error"
However, if I manually (open GRUB command line) enter the same commands as
defined in the previously selected menu option:
root (hd0,5)
kernel (hd0,5)/vmlinuz root=/dev/hda6
initrd (hd0,5)/initrd
boot
Then I can boot my hard drive kernel.
I have found that this bug may be related to problem I have just explained:
http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=14407
So please address this issue in next GRUB release for debian. Thank you.
Daniel R.
