Quoting Robert Millan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
Hi Robert,
Adding more patches to GRUB Legacy just makes it harder to maintain,
since upstream won't accept them.
I understand that, but a working bootloader which supports GPT
partition tables should be easily available on a distribution which
has a fairly large share of the linux server sector. And GRUB Legacy
is frozen anyway, so there is not much change to be expected.
If GRUB 2 has a bug, why don't you try to fix that instead?
Because I haven't got the knowledge of C, GPT or bootloaders in
general to be of any help there in a finite amount of time (which is
also not available in abundancy, unfortunately).
For what I can see in your report to upstream, it could be a bug that we
fixed in the package (I fixed a few that look like this one). Have you
tried with the debian package? If so, please do file a bug report.
I tried the debian package, yes.
It could also be because of the numbering scheme transition. Partitions
now count from 1 instead of 0 (drives still count from 0). This would
explain this error:
[..]
Thanks, I'll try that. If you're positively sure that this can be
worked out in GRUB2 easily feel free to close this bug and I'll reopen
a new one in GRUB2 if this should be a persisting problem.
best regards,
Michael Renner
