I just tried grub2 out on a fresh sid install and failed due to #409073. It seems neither grub nor grub2 support GPT at the moment? > I understand that importance of the GPT support on GRUB but I also > worry about the possible regressions it can bring to it too.

The patch seems reasonably clean to me; while I am not an expert at parsing partition tables, it seems the only possible regression could be mistakenly interpreting a non-GPT partitioned block device as GPT. Is it possible this patch could make it into etch after release via proposed-updates? (Of course, I'm not opposed to maintaining a locally patched version of grub for a handful of specialized servers. Perhaps a note in the release notes for this admittedly rare configuration would be in order?) > Our idea, just after Etch release, is start to replace the grub with > grub2 for all possible architectures :-D That would solve a lot of > problems, for sure. -- Robert Edmonds [EMAIL PROTECTED]
