Package: grub Version: 0.97-20 Severity: wishlist Please consider adding GPT support for GRUB [1] although it's already in feature freeze. GRUB is currently the only bootloader which is able to boot from GPT partitions which are mandatory when partitioning blockdevices which exceed 2TB in size (and become more and more common due to the latest developments in the storage sector).
I tested the aforementioned patch and it worked fine for me (after ignoring whitespace and fixing the linewraps). A corrected version can be found at http://amd.co.at/data/grub-gpt.patch . GRUB2 might be an option in the future but unfortunately it's not usable [2] in it's current state.
