There have been many threads recently about grub-pc boot problems, including an advisory not to update grub-pc in apt-listchanges during the upgrade itself. No doubt the grub fans out there will give me flak for saying this; but honestly, if it were me, I'd install lilo and forget about grub, at least for a while. Once you upgrade you can't easily go back. You either wait for the bug to be fixed, or you try a tricky and unsupported installation of a back-level package, or you install something else. In this case the solution is to install something else. That's what I did. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
