Package: grub-pc
Version: 1.97-1
Severity: normal
Hi,
I think the problem comes from the fact that on my Mac there is no BIOS
Boot Partition in my GPT partition map. As a consequence, I needed to
install it using blocklists.
It seemed to be no problem (except some warnings) up to version
1.97~beta3 or ~beta4. But since 1.97-1, the option --force is required
for grub-install to install grub to blocklists. This switch is not
passed to grub-install during the configuration of the new version,
leading to an badly installed grub and an unbootable system.
Typing from the commandline
# sudo grub-install --force /dev/sda
seemed to solve the problem for me, since I can now boot with grub
1.97-1.
Hope it helps.
I should probably try grup-efi instead, since creating a BIOS Boot
partition requires the creation of a new partition.
See:
http://grub.enbug.org/BIOS_Boot_Partition for more info on grub-pc
and bios boot partitions.
Best,
Cédric
