--- Begin Message ---Package: grub-pc Version: 1.97~beta2-2 Severity: grave Justification: renders package unusable Updating to grub-pc from grub-legacy creates a script in /etc/grub.d/20-memtest+ but unfortunately the entry fails to boot memtest+ after the upgrade. Specifically, this won't work: menuentry "Memory test (memtest86+)" { linux $MEMTESTPATH } But this does: menuentry "Memory test (memtest86+)" { linux16 $MEMTESTPATH } I was finally able to find the answer here (thank you Felix): http://osdir.com/ml/grub-devel-gnu/2009-08/msg00101.html Also note that other recommendations, such as the one listed here, did NOT work (using 'netbsd' in place of 'linux16'): http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/Grub2#Booting_Memtest86.2B It would also really be helpful if the documentation for grub-pc contained a working example for memtest+ in examples/grub.cfg as it would at least give a hint as to how to go about modifying the /etc/grub.d/20-memtest+ script by hand after the upgrade; because without doing that /boot/grub/grub.cfg is overwritten when update-grub or update-grub2 are run. Similarly the Grub2 wiki at http://grub.enbug.org/ doesn't list anything about booting memtest+ either. :-/ -- Chris Chris Knadle chris.kna...@coredump.us -- Package-specific info: *********************** BEGIN /proc/mounts /dev/root / xfs rw,relatime,noquota 0 0 /dev/sda3 /boot ext2 rw,relatime,errors=continue 0 0 /dev/sda7 /home xfs rw,relatime,noquota 0 0 *********************** END /proc/mounts *********************** BEGIN /boot/grub/device.map (hd0) /dev/sda *********************** END /boot/grub/device.map *********************** BEGIN /boot/grub/grub.cfg # # DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE # # It is automatically generated by /usr/sbin/grub-mkconfig using templates # from /etc/grub.d and settings from /etc/default/grub # ### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/00_header ### set default=0 if terminal_input console ; then true ; else # For backward compatibility with versions of terminal.mod that don't # understand terminal_input terminal console fi if terminal_output console ; then true ; else # For backward compatibility with versions of terminal.mod that don't # understand terminal_output terminal console fi set timeout=5 ### END /etc/grub.d/00_header ### ### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/05_debian_theme ### set menu_color_normal=cyan/blue set menu_color_highlight=white/blue ### END /etc/grub.d/05_debian_theme ### ### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/10_linux ### menuentry "Debian GNU/Linux, Linux 2.6.30.5-c2d-crk12" { insmod ext2 set root=(hd0,3) search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set 1feb58ff-2dac-4eeb-ab8d-eb14861d3570 linux /vmlinuz-2.6.30.5-c2d-crk12 root=/dev/sda6 ro } menuentry "Debian GNU/Linux, Linux 2.6.30.5-c2d-crk12 (recovery mode)" { insmod ext2 set root=(hd0,3) search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set 1feb58ff-2dac-4eeb-ab8d-eb14861d3570 linux /vmlinuz-2.6.30.5-c2d-crk12 root=/dev/sda6 ro single } ### END /etc/grub.d/10_linux ### ### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/20_memtest86+ ### menuentry "Memory test (memtest86+)" { linux16 /memtest86+.bin } menuentry "Memory test (memtest86+, serial console 115200)" { linux16 /memtest86+.bin console=ttyS0,115200n8 } ### END /etc/grub.d/20_memtest86+ ### ### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober ### menuentry "Windows Vista (loader) (on /dev/sda1)" { insmod ntfs set root=(hd0,1) search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set 160e2be30e2bba9f chainloader +1 } menuentry "Windows Vista (loader) (on /dev/sda2)" { insmod ntfs set root=(hd0,2) search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set 0224302c24302557 chainloader +1 } ### END /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober ### ### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/40_custom ### # This file is an example on how to add custom entries ### END /etc/grub.d/40_custom ### *********************** END /boot/grub/grub.cfg -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.30.5-c2d-crk12 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages grub-pc depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.27 Debian configuration management sy ii grub-common 1.97~beta2-2 GRand Unified Bootloader, version ii libc6 2.9-26 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii ucf 3.0021 Update Configuration File: preserv grub-pc recommends no packages.
