--- Begin Message ---Package: grub-invaders Version: 1.0.0-8 Severity: grave Tags: patch --- Please enter the report below this line. --- Hi, While trying grub-pc, I went over grub-invaders. Installation went fine, but it failed to boot with an error like "multiboot unknown" (can't remember exactly). The attached patch solves the issue (at least for me). It moves line 10 ( prepare_grub_to_access_device…) after line 6, so that the menuentry contains only the multiboot, which is then recognised (for an unknown reason).

It's too risky to > run automatically. OK. I think that this is not clear though : nothing in /usr/share/doc/grub-pc nor anywhere where I could find it.

(disregard update-grub calls in this test, > but make sure you're using /etc/grub.d/*_multiboot unmodified). Lenny/Sid version : everything boots and works Experimental version : everything boots, but no background image The experimental version wants to use the old desktop-base image (another bug…) So, the issue was simply to run 'grub-install <device>' after each grub-update to be sure that everything is copied correctly in /boot. I'm closing the bug with '-done', because it was my mis-use of the package. Regards, OdyX -- Didier Raboud, proud Debian user. CH-1802 Corseaux [EMAIL PROTECTED]
