Package: grub-pc
Version: 1.97~beta3-1
Justification: renders package unusable
Severity: grave
*** Please type your report below this line ***
After I've issued the command "upgrade-from-grub-legacy", the system stopped
booting, when I press enter or select any line in the menu (if I let the
system
boot automatically after timeout - everything works...).
If I press enter, or move the highlighted line, then
i get "error: file not found" and the menu is redisplayed
I have to enter the "edit" option in the grub menu, and make the following
changes:
1. Replace "set root=(hd0,3)" with "root=(hd0,3)"
2. Add the end of line in the last line (which defines the initial ramdisk)
Only after the above adjustments I'm able to boot with ctrl+x.
