Package: grub-efi Version: 1.96+20080724-16 Severity: normal
Hello I am unable to load linux with grub. It says something like "You have to load the kernel first." which resembles the problem which existed in grub-pc after some upgrade. I am not sure what the problem was exactly - perhaps update-grub generating a file that cannot be parsed by older grub anymore? I guess this should be fixed by detecting the old grub version during upgrades. Thanks Michal -- Package-specific info: *********************** WARNING grub-setup left core.img in filesystem *********************** BEGIN /proc/mounts /dev/sda4 / ext3 rw,noatime,errors=remount-ro,data=ordered 0 0 /dev/sda2 /Xroot hfsplus ro,nosuid,nodev,umask=22,uid=0,gid=0,nls=utf8 0 0 *********************** END /proc/mounts *********************** BEGIN /boot/grub/device.map (hd0) /dev/sda (hd1) /dev/sdb *********************** END /boot/grub/device.map *********************** BEGIN /boot/grub/grub.cfg #
