Package: grub-pc Version: 1.98+20100804-4 Severity: serious Tags: fixed-upstream Justification: unsuitable for release under package maintainer's opinion
If an error happens during load of a boot entry, and gfxterm (the default mode) is in use, error messages are not displayed. To make things worse, the "Loading" messages that grub.cfg prints while loading kernel and initrd images are also lost, which means that in slow (or emulated) machines, the boot process appears to hang. This bug is fixed upstream (and the fix is a trivial one-liner). -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=ca_AD.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=ca_AD.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages grub-pc depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.35 Debian configuration management sy ii grub-common 1.98+20100804-4 GRand Unified Bootloader, version ii libc6 2.11.2-6 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libdevmapper1.02.1 2:1.02.48-3 The Linux Kernel Device Mapper use ii ucf 3.0025+nmu1 Update Configuration File: preserv grub-pc recommends no packages.
