Package: grub-pc Version: 1.98~20100115-1 Severity: critical Justification: breaks the whole system
after installing lenny or squeeze machines cannot boot, grub2 stops at "Welcome to GRUB2!" message, do a permanent reboot loop or hang when showing the boot menu; booting from the netinst into rescue mode and tried something but nothing other then deinstalling grub2 and installing grub-legacy helps; with grub-legacy all machines boot is fine, our systems are inteservers with sh3210-series mainboards and areca or 3ware hardware raid-controllers; since the option to install grub-legacy on debian lenny is no longer availiable, installing debian 'stable' is no longer possible; i recommend to bring back the option into the debian-installer that grub-legacy can be installed instead grub2 or completely remove grub2 from lenny because it seems not to be 'stable'; -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-trunk-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages grub-pc depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.28 Debian configuration management sy ii grub-common 1.98~20100115-1 GRand Unified Bootloader, version ii libc6 2.10.2-2 GNU C Library: Shared libraries pn ucf <none> (no description available) grub-pc recommends no packages.
