Comment 17 for bug 392136

This bug was fixed in the package grub2 - 1.97+20091130-1ubuntu1

---------------
grub2 (1.97+20091130-1ubuntu1) lucid; urgency=low

  * Resynchronise with Debian (LP: #485457). Remaining changes:
    + debian/default/grub:
      - Adjust for default Ubuntu boot options.
      - Use GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT option to set "quiet splash" for
        default items only. These options won't be set in single user mode.
      - Default to hiding the menu; holding down Shift at boot will show it.
    + debian/templates.in:
      - Change default value of grub2/linux_cmdline_default to "quiet
        splash".
    + debian/config.in, debian/postinst.in, debian/grub-pc.templates.in:
      - Migrate timeout settings from menu.lst.
    + debian/grub.d/05_debian_theme:
      - Set a monochromatic theme for Ubuntu.
    + debian/legacy/update-grub:
      - Apply Ubuntu branding: title, recovery mode, quiet option, and tweak
        how memtest86+ is displayed.
      - Use UUIDs where appropriate.
    + debian/control:
      - Conflict with grub (<< 0.97-54) as well as grub-legacy.
    + debian/postinst.in:
      - Fix backslash-escaping in merge_debconf_into_conf.
    + debian/patches/03_ubuntu_grub_standards:
      - Remove GNU/Linux from default string.
    + debian/patches/10_crashkernel.patch:
      - Add crashkernel= options if kdump and makedumpfile are available.
    + debian/patches/951_quick_boot.diff:
      - If other operating systems are installed, then automatically unhide
        the menu.
      - Otherwise, if GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT is 0, then use keystatus if
        available to check whether Shift is pressed. If it is, show the
        menu, otherwise boot immediately. If keystatus is not available,
        then fall back to a short delay interruptible with Escape.
    + debian/patches/952_sleep_shift.diff:
      - Allow Shift to interrupt 'sleep --interruptible'.
    + debian/patches/954_normal_quiet.diff:
      - Don't display introductory message about line editing unless we're
        actually offering a shell prompt. Don't clear the screen just before
        booting if we never drew the menu in the first place.
    + debian/patches/955_really_quiet.diff:
      - Remove some verbose messages printed before reading the
        configuration file.
    + debian/patches/956_linux_quiet.diff:
      - If the environment variable "quiet" is set to something other than
        0, suppress progress messages as the kernel and initrd load. Set
        this for non-recovery kernel menu entries.
    + debian/patches/957_savedefault.diff, debian/rules:
      - Add GRUB_DEFAULT=saved, as well as grub-set-default and grub-reboot
        utilities. Provides functionality essentially equivalent to GRUB
        Legacy's savedefault.
    + debian/patches/959_loopback_root.diff:
      - Keep the loopback file open so that subsequent changes to the "root"
        environment variable don't affect it.
    + debian/patches/961_handle_loopback.diff:
      - Change prepare_grub_to_access_device to handle filesystems
        loop-mounted on file images.
    + debian/patches/963_linux_no_loopmount.diff:
      - Ignore devices loop-mounted from files in 10_linux.
    + debian/patches/965_failed_boot_menu.diff, debian/grub-common.init,
      debian/grub-common.pm-sleep, debian/grub-common.dirs, debian/rules:
      - Show the boot menu if the previous boot failed, that is if it failed
        to get to the end of one of the normal runlevels.
    + debian/patches/968_raid_virtio.diff:
      - Handle RAID devices containing virtio components.
  * debian/patches/957_savedefault.diff: Fix --version output from
    grub-reboot and grub-set-default (see LP #480571).
  * debian/patches/957_savedefault.diff: Cope with /boot being on a separate
    filesystem (LP: #478035).
  * debian/patches/957_savedefault.diff, 965_failed_boot_menu.diff: Use 'set
    var=val' rather than plain 'var=val'.
  * debian/patches/969_format_errors.diff: Fix compilation errors due to
    gettext work.

grub2 (1.97+20091130-1) unstable; urgency=low

  * New Bazaar snapshot.
  * Enable ntldr-img from grub-extras.

grub2 (1.97+20091125-2) unstable; urgency=low

  [ Updated translations ]
  * Bulgarian (bg.po) by Damyan Ivanovi (Closes: #558039)

  [ Robert Millan ]
  * control: Remove genisoimage from Build-Depends/Suggests (no longer
    used).
  * grub.d/05_debian_theme: Make output string distro-agnostic.

  [ Felix Zielcke ]
  * patches/02_fix_mountpoints_in_mkrelpath.diff: New patch to handle
    mount points like the old shell function did. (Closes: #558042)

grub2 (1.97+20091125-1) unstable; urgency=low

  [ Robert Millan ]
  * New upstream snapshot.
    - Fixes script parser load error.

  * Add gettext to Build-Depends and gettext-base to grub-common's
    Depends.

grub2 (1.97+20091124-1) unstable; urgency=low

  * New upstream snapshot.
    - Fix grub-mkisofs related FTBFS on powerpc. (Closes: #557704)
    - Create fake GRUB devices for devices not listed in device.map.
      This also makes dmraid and multipath work as long as
      search --fs-uuid works. (Closes: #442382, #540549, LP: #392136)
    - rules: grub-emu is now built as a port.

  [ Felix Zielcke ]
  * Change the bt-utf-source build dependency to xfonts-unifont. It's
    more complete, better maintained and grub-mkfont supports actually
    more then BDF fonts as input, thanks to libfreetype.
  * Use grub-probe to get the GRUB device of /boot/grub instead of
    passing (hd0) to grub-install when creating the core.img with
    chainloading. This avoids the (UUID=) hack slowness in case
    /boot/grub is on a different disk then (hd0) in device.map.
  * patches/903_grub_legacy_0_based_partitions.diff: Update.
  * Add a build dependency on automake and python.
  * Set TARGET_CC=$(CC) to really use gcc-4.4 everywhere. Also pass it
    and CC as arguments to ./configure instead of env vars so they get
    preserved.
  * Ship grub-mkrelpath in grub-common.
  * Ship the locale files in grub-common.
  * Add a dependency on 'dpkg (>= 1.15.4) | install-info' for grub-common
    as recommended by Policy and lintian.

grub2 (1.97+20091115-1) unstable; urgency=low

  * New upstream snapshot.
    - Fix security problem with password checking. (Closes: #555195)
    - Fix the generated GNU/Hurd menu entries and also add support for
      it in 30_os-prober. (Closes: #555188)
    - Same grub-mkrescue for grub-pc and grub-coreboot, used by
      grub-rescue-pc during postinst now. (Closes: #501867)

  [ Felix Zielcke ]
  * Ship grub-mkisofs in grub-common.
  * patches/002_grub.d_freebsd.in.diff: Remove (merged upstream).
  * patches/906_grub_extras.diff: Remove. Superseded by GRUB_CONTRIB variable
    in recent upstream trunk.
  * rules: Export GRUB_CONTRIB to enable grub-extras add-ons.
  * Pass --force to grub-install in the postinst. (Closes: #553415)
  * Don't strip debug symbols from grub-emu. It's meant for debugging
    and with them it's much more useful.
  * Ship grub-mkfloppy in grub-pc.
  * Revert the Replaces: grub-common to (<= 1.96+20080413-1) on the
    grub-pc package. It was wrongly modified long ago.

  [ Robert Millan ]
  * copyright: Document mkisofs.
  * control: Update Vcs- fields (moved to Bazaar).
  * rules: Update debian/legacy/update-grub rule to Bazaar.

    desktop-base (Needed for #495282, #495616, #500134, see also
    #550984).

  [ Felix Zielcke ]
  * Add a build dependency on texinfo.
  * Fix little typo in /etc/default/grub. (LP: #457703)
