Package: grub-pc Version: 1.96+20090317-1 Severity: grave --- Please enter the report below this line. --- Note: This bug report is for 1.96+20090826-3, I downgraded to the squeeze version to make system bootable again.
I just let aptitude update grub-pc to 1.96+20090826-3. I do not know the earlier version, but I guess it was one version before, cause if I still had the squeeze one it wouldn't have updated to the unstable automatically. On booting up today I got: [Linux-bzImage, setup=0x2c00, size=0x25a070] vga=792 is deprecated. Use set gfxpayload=1024x768x24,1024x768 before linux command instead. unaligned pointer 0x700ba Aborted. Press any key to exit.Operating system not found I also tried with another kernel with the same result. Then I booted into grml, overwrote the swap partition and recreated it via mkswap in order to make sure the TuxOnIce snapshot is invalidated to avoid data loss in next boot. Then I chrooted to my debian system after bind mounting /dev, /proc, /sys to it, downgraded grub-pc to 1.96+20090317-1 from squeeze and ran grub- install. I thought about running grub-install for the grub-pc from unstable, but I read the current sid version might be broken anyway[1], thus I thought I'd better downgrade to the squeeze one in order to get a working system quickly again. I could try updating to the sid one again, without running grub-install manually and then I run it manually and see whether it fixes the issue. So you could know whether its grub itself or a missing grub- install. Anyway the expected result is: After an update of grub-pc package the system boots up manually. Thus if a new version is incompatible to the old stage 1 the upgrade process has to force a grub-install IMHO or at least strongly recommend it. I don't remember seeing anything about this in debconf questions. And if a new version of grub-pc doesn't work on my ThinkPad T42 it shouldn´t enter testing ;) This is on an IBM ThinkPad T42.
