Package: grub-common Version: 1.98+20100804-10 Severity: minor Tags: patch I dual boot Debian (testing) and Windows Server 2008 R2 on an AMD64 platform. Debian is on the first PATA drive, where GRUB is installed, and Windows is is on a second SATA drive.
With the automatically generated grub configurations, Windows is not able to finish booting but resets before reaching the graphical splash screen. The problem can be resolved by removing the line "drivemap -s (hd0) (hd1)" from the grub configuration. This line is generated by the 30_os-prober script. In this script there is already an exception for Windows Vista and Windows 7. Windows Server 2008 (and 2008 R2) are also flavours of those two, and so should also be added to as exceptions. Here is the diff for the fixed file: /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober 114c114 < Windows\ Vista*|Windows\ 7*) --- > Windows\ Vista*|Windows\ 7*|Windows\ Server\ 2008*) Best regards, Devin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
