Bug 96508 – grub 0.96-r1 cannot load kernels from ext2 partition

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE

[Description Paolo Ornati 2005-06-19 01:30:08 UTC]

Summary says everything... GRUB refuses to load any kernel from my EXT2 boot
partition saying that he "cannot find the file"... but these files exist!

Note: grub 0.94 WORKS

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge grub 0.96-r1
2. reboot
3. boom!

Maybe duplicate of bug #83287

[Comment 4 Paolo Ornati 2005-07-15 12:20:13 UTC]

Yes... removing "savedefault" works, so this is a duplicate.
