I've just booted it from a live-cd to see what is going on. I already had grub-pc installed before, and it was working perfectly. I upgraded from grub-pc and grub-common to 1.96+20080724-10 to 1.96+20090317-1. I do not have grub installed.
My menu entries in both the menu when I boot and grub.cfg contains things like: menuentry "Debian GNU/Linux, linux 2.6.26-1-686" { set root=(hd0,1) search --fs-uuid --set a80983a5-e4ca-4dc2-80c7-c0f5d1a1364e linux /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.26-1-686 root=UUID=a80983a5-e4ca-4dc2-80c7-c0f5d1a1364e ro vga=0x305 initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.26-1-686 } menu.lst still exists and contains things like: title Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.24-1-686 root (hd0,0) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.24-1-686 root=/dev/hda1 ro video:intelfb vga=0x305 initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.24-1-686 Note that menu.lst hasn't been touched since 19 feb 2008, when I installed grub-pc, and contains old kernels. Anyway, when booting, I get the message: ===== Booting 'Debian GNU/Linux, linux 2.6.26-1-686' error: unknown command `initrd' Press any key to continue... ===== If I edit the entry to remove the initrd line, and then try to boot, instead I get: ===== Booting a command list error: unknown command `linux' Press any key to continue... ===== Kurt -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
