billbear: GRUB recognises two signatures: d8 41 a0 f5 02 00 02 00 and d4 41 a0 f5 03 00 03 00. More may be added in the future if I hear of more.
Your opinion is noted, but I disagree. GRUB Legacy needs to die. In any case, this problem can affect GRUB Legacy too, just a bit more rarely - it depends what sector the software in question happens to choose. This bug is fairly simple - I'll have it fixed soon. ** Changed in: grub2 (Ubuntu) Status: Triaged => In Progress -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/730225 Title: grub-install trashes the ntfs partition that starts at sector 63 if one or more sectors in the embedding area is occupied by Adobe FlexNet -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
