Package: grub-pc
Version: 1.98+20100804-7
Severity: normal
Hi, after enjoying quiet boots for a while, I heard floppy seeks after the
grub menu had been displayed, perhaps due to my root filesystem not being
visible to the BIOS (I have a 320GB hard drive but a BIOS with a 32GiB limit).
The /boot partition is visible to the BIOS, but grub may be attempting to
find the / partition's UUID by performing a floppy seek.
After the floppy seek, grub boots normally.
