I compiled grub with the "distcc" feature selected. The processe went and got to the end without errors, however if I type grub-install it doen't install grub in the mbr but it just output weird stuff. You have to unmerge grub and reemerge it without the "distcc" option in your make.conf Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. compile grub with distcc enabled (and installed) 2. type grub-install Actual Results: outputs strange symbols (@@@ ... $) untill you ctrl-c it Expected Results: it should install grub in the mbr of (hd0) if you remove the distcc option and compile grub again it works as expected my CFLAGS -O3 -march=pentium3 -mfpmath=sse -mmmx -msse -mno-sse2 -mno-sse3 -mno-3dnow -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe -minline-all-stringops"

Created attachment 120915 [details] the output of grub-install when compiled with distcc The content of the file is reproduced several times, until you stop it with ctrl-c. If you remove distcc from the features, grub-install works fine (and gives this output Installation finished. No error reported. This is the contents of the device map /boot/grub/device.map. Check if this is correct or not. If any of the lines is incorrect, fix it and re-run the script `grub-install'. (hd0) /dev/hda )
