Thanks to Phil Requirements for noting that: grub1 = grub-legacy grub2 = grub-pc
--- After grub-pc has automatically set up the interim chain boot configuration during dist-upgrade, grub-pc is not apparently installed on any boot sector. What is happening is that grub1 is chain booting into the file .../grub/core.img, not into another boot sector. Therefore, when the subsequent grub-pc upgrade demands to know "GRUB install devices:" the correct response is to hit enter, signifying none. grub-pc will then ask "Continue without installing GRUB?" to which the response "y" will result in an upgraded grub-pc without breaking the automatic chain-load configuration. Messing with bootloaders is never 100% safe. YMMV. --Mike Bird P.S. We'll be reverting to grub-legacy ASAP and in future will blacklist grub-pc when upgrading systems to Squeeze. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
