He made .debs of the gurb2 trunk from 2008-08-09. That version still has the same problem, but it no longer forces me into the rescue shell. When grub starts, I quickly see two errors that fd0 and fd1 cannot be found, but then the grub menu starts normally and I can boot my machine. I was running the Debian Lenny version of grub2 (that's 24-5) so somewhere between these two versions there was a change that ensures grub2 keeps going even when it cannot find some devices. Will that change be put into Debian Lenny as well? -- Sander Marechal
