Package: grub-pc Version: 1.98+20100804-8 Severity: normal
We (the Grml team) are building hybrid ISOs using grub2. As soon as we use 'insmod part_msdos' in our grub.cfg booting fails on several systems with "unaligned pointer 0x...." errors. "Broken" configuration template: http://git.grml.org/?p=grml-live.git;a=blob;f=templates/boot/grub/grub.cfg;h=0f4d683cdcd89500086f835321be70b78443ee75;hb=987dd5d84c04ae6242ff9ee1da71cffcff92e0bb This template works for us: http://git.grml.org/?p=grml-live.git;a=blob;f=templates/boot/grub/grub.cfg;h=da9c6b4066c1f3c1c9b4904f8fbd7d339503e2d9;hb=09667d4a67057707f959e2b667ad4d7da36fd2b3 (Notice that 'insmod part_gpt' was present as well though this doesn't cause the problem on *my* system, I assume because there's no gpt partition table in my test systems available.) The issue can be reproduced with either real™ hardware or using qemu/kvm via restricting memory to ~64MB (using '-m 64') but won't be present if using something like 512MB memory in the virtual machine. We verified this issue with different versions of Grub, if you need any further information please let me know. regards, -mika- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
