I did an update today and I noticed that grub-static was updated to v0.96. Although it emerges okay, it's not installable on my system: # grub-install /dev/sda /lib/grub/i386-pc/stage1: Not found. # grub -su: /sbin/grub: cannot execute binary file The old grub-static (0.93.20030118) had these files which are no longer in 0.96: <<< obj /usr/share/grub/i386-pc/xfs_stage1_5 <<< obj /usr/share/grub/i386-pc/vstafs_stage1_5 <<< obj /usr/share/grub/i386-pc/stage2 <<< obj /usr/share/grub/i386-pc/stage1 <<< obj /usr/share/grub/i386-pc/reiserfs_stage1_5 <<< obj /usr/share/grub/i386-pc/minix_stage1_5 <<< obj /usr/share/grub/i386-pc/jfs_stage1_5 <<< obj /usr/share/grub/i386-pc/ffs_stage1_5 <<< obj /usr/share/grub/i386-pc/fat_stage1_5 <<< obj /usr/share/grub/i386-pc/e2fs_stage1_5 Portage 2.1 (default-linux/amd64/2006.0/no-multilib, gcc-4.1.1/vanilla, glibc-2.4-r3, 2.6.16-gentoo-r9 x86_64) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.16-gentoo-r9 x86_64 AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3800+ Gentoo Base System version 1.12.1 dev-lang/python: 2.4.3-r1 dev-python/pycrypto: 2.0.1-r5 dev-util/ccache: [Not Present] dev-util/confcache: [Not Present] sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.18.1 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.59-r7 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r2 sys-devel/binutils: 2.16.1-r2 sys-devel/gcc-config: 2.0.0_rc1 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.22 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.16 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="amd64 ~amd64" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CBUILD="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-march=athlon64 -O2 -pipe" CHOST="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /etc/mail /etc/mail/dspam /usr/share/config /var/bind /var/run/dspam" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/env.d /etc/eselect/compiler /etc/gconf /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/splash /etc/terminfo" CXXFLAGS="-march=athlon64 -O2 -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoconfig distlocks metadata-transfer sandbox sfperms strict" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://distfiles.gentoo.org http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/gentoo" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --delete-after --stats --timeout=180 --exclude='/distfiles' --exclude='/local' --exclude='/packages'" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="amd64 X alsa avi berkdb bitmap-fonts cli crypt cups dri eds emboss encode foomaticdb fortran gif gnome gpm gstreamer gtk gtk2 imlib ipv6 isdnlog jpeg kde lzw lzw-tiff mp3 mpeg ncurses nls nptl opengl pam pcre pdflib perl png pppd python qt quicktime readline reflection sdl session spell spl ssl tcpd tiff truetype-fonts type1-fonts usb xorg xpm xv zlib elibc_glibc kernel_linux userland_GNU" Unset: CTARGET, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, INSTALL_MASK, LANG, LC_ALL, LDFLAGS, LINGUAS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPT
I'm aware of the /usr/share/grub stuff being missing as I explicitly checked grub for it, and as it wasn't there, I assumed it to be compiled into the binary or such. I didn't catch that it was moved to /lib though. the revised .tar.bz2 is on it's way to the mirrors, i'll push the ebuild as soon as the tarball is ready
right, should be fixed
