Package: grub-common Version: 1.97~beta1-1 Severity: critical Somehow, it appears that upgrading grub-common to 1.97~beta1-1 has caused my system to stop booting. I'm running an up-to-date sid system (as of tonight) on a thinkpad x200s; grub1 was installed as the bootloader.
grub-legacy 0.97-56 and grub-common 1.97~beta1-1 are the only grub packages installed, with the dummy grub packaged marked 'rc'. After dist-upgrading and rebooting, grub just hangs. The BIOS finishes loading, and I get a blinking cursor.. but no grub menu. I don't get any errors from grub either, so it looks like it's not even getting to stage2. I last rebooted 10 days ago, and grub worked fine then. The last reboot was a kernel upgrade (2.6.31-rcsomething), and neither grub nor the MBR have been touched since then (other than routine package upgrades via dist-upgrade). I will boot from grub on a usb stick for the next few days and try and leave everything as-is; if you don't ask me for additional info, I'll go ahead and fix booting on the machine. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
