Bug Description

Binary package hint: grub

Date: Wed, 29 Aug 2007 23:40:10 +0200

Package: grub
Version: 0.97-29ubuntu3
Severity: important

I just upgraded to Gutsy and had this problem.
Grub can't boot on my Windows partition if I leave the savedefault command, because it returns an unrecognized command error.

Thanks.

Thanks for your bug report. Please post your menu.lst file. The #savedefault= option is by default false so there should not be any savedefault commands in the boot entries.

There was one in my Windows XP boot section, and I swear I didn't add it manually.
But I can't give you my menu.lst
For several other reasons, I've removed Windows XP from this specific computer. :-s
