Originally posted by massysett View PostYeah, there is "a patch" but since the Grub maintainers are refusing to deal with "Grub Legacy," it is just an unofficial patch floating around. Some distributors use it; I don't know if all do. Meanwhile "Grub Legacy" is spouting off a useless (worse, *deceiving*) error message for this problem.

grub2 - typical gnu disease. Take over a usefull project and then fuck it up.
Grub does not need all that features. It is a freaking bootloader!
To make its installation suck less and its config easier - now that would be a real improvement. Everything else is just really stupid.

bah - it may seem a bit pointless now, but it's the only way the basic boot process will progress anywhere so we can ditch all this legacy IBM PC crap. Eye candy's just the freebie that drives development, the way wobbly windows drove compositing window managers.
