Package: grub-pc Version: 1.98~20100110-1 Severity: grave Hello,
I've upgraded to the latest grub yesterday, and today, the computer refused to boot with grub complaining about "missing symbols" (I don't remember which one), and was going into what seemed to be a 'rescue' mode. No help, no way to boot... The only way was to boot using a rescue disk, and install the 1.98~20100107-1 version. (which is still installed, hence the dependency on -common below). I'm ready to give more information should you need more. Cheers, Vincent PS: setting to grave as it left me with a completely unbootable machine -- Package-specific info: *********************** BEGIN /proc/mounts /dev/disk/by-uuid/af9f145d-7669-438b-8099-1c71120a8eec / ext3 rw,noatime,errors=remount-ro,data=ordered 0 0 /dev/sdb7 /home ext4 rw,relatime,barrier=1,data=ordered 0 0 /dev/mapper/nvidia_ajcfafge2 /RAID ext4 rw,relatime,barrier=1,data=ordered 0 0 /dev/mapper/nvidia_ajcfafge2 /var/cache ext4 rw,relatime,barrier=1,data=ordered 0 0 /dev/mapper/nvidia_ajcfafge2 /chroots ext4 rw,relatime,barrier=1,data=ordered 0 0 *********************** END /proc/mounts *********************** BEGIN /boot/grub/device.map (hd0) /dev/hda (hd1) /dev/hdb (hd2) /dev/sda (hd3) /dev/sdb *********************** 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 insmod ext2 set root=(hd0,5) search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set af9f145d-7669-438b-8099-1c71120a8eec if loadfont /usr/share/grub/unicode.pf2 ; then set gfxmode=640x480 insmod gfxterm insmod vbe if terminal_output gfxterm ; then true ; else # For backward compatibility with versions of terminal.mod that don't # understand terminal_output terminal gfxterm fi fi set locale_dir=/boot/grub/locale set lang=en insmod gettext 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, with Linux 2.6.32-trunk-amd64" { insmod ext2 set root=(hd0,5) search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set af9f145d-7669-438b-8099-1c71120a8eec linux /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32-trunk-amd64 root=UUID=af9f145d-7669-438b-8099-1c71120a8eec ro initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.32-trunk-amd64 } menuentry "Debian GNU/Linux, with Linux 2.6.32-trunk-amd64 (recovery mode)" { insmod ext2 set root=(hd0,5) search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set af9f145d-7669-438b-8099-1c71120a8eec linux /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32-trunk-amd64 root=UUID=af9f145d-7669-438b-8099-1c71120a8eec ro single initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.32-trunk-amd64 } ### END /etc/grub.d/10_linux ### ### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/20_memtest86 ### menuentry "Memory test (memtest86)" { linux16 /boot/memtest86.bin } ### END /etc/grub.d/20_memtest86 ### ### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/20_memtest86+ ### menuentry "Memory test (memtest86+)" { insmod ext2 set root=(hd0,5) search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set af9f145d-7669-438b-8099-1c71120a8eec linux16 /boot/memtest86+.bin } menuentry "Memory test (memtest86+, serial console 115200)" { insmod ext2 set root=(hd0,5) search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set af9f145d-7669-438b-8099-1c71120a8eec linux16 /boot/memtest86+.bin console=ttyS0,115200n8 } ### END /etc/grub.d/20_memtest86+ ### ### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober ### ### END /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober ### ### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/40_custom ### # This file provides an easy way to add custom menu entries.
