Package: grub-pc
Version: 1.98+20100602-2
Severity: grave
When I try to boot, grub doesn't seem to find its "normal" module
anymore by itself but needs a manual hint:
---snip---
GRUB loading.
Welcome to GRUB!
error: no such partition.
Entering rescue mode...
grub rescue> set prefix=(hd0,msdos1,bsd1)/boot/grub
grub rescue> insmod normal
grub rescue> normal
---snap---
Neither "grub-install /dev/ad0" nor "update-grub" nor
"grub-mkdevicemap" changed this situation.
I don't know exactly since which version this is happening, because
the box had an uptime of 77 days.
The last boot was at Tue Mar 23 12:27:43 2010 when both, testing and
unstable had version 1.98-1. So I downgraded all packages build from
the grub2 source package to 1.98-1 from testing and it worked again.
So this problem probably has been introduced after 1.98-1.
Following the diff between the grub.cfg generated by 1.98-1 ("<") and
1.98+20100602-2 (">"). One notable difference is that the newer grub
uses "(hd0,1,1)" instead of "(hd0,1,a)" to describe the root
partition. But at least "ls" on the grub 1.98+20100602-2 command line
did neither accept "(hd0,1,1)" as partition nor "(hd0,1,a)", just
"(hd0,msdos1,bsd1)" and "(hd0,1,bsd1)".
OTOH "set root='(hd0,1,1)'" from grub.cfg seems to work anyway.
