This is what I've found so far:
Installing the latest grub2, from debian-ports:
/var/lib/dpkg/info/grub-pc.postinst: line 557:   668 Segmentation fault
grub-install --force --no-floppy $real_device

booting results in:
grub rescue>

Found a few commands:
ls -> lists (hd0),(hd0,msdos1), partitions
ls / -> OK
ls /boot -> OK, the gnumach image is there!

set root=(hd0,1)
set prefix=(hd0,1)/boot/grub

ls (hd0,1)/boot/grub ->  lists all modules, etc: Is there a pager
available???

ls (hd0,1)/boot/grub/normal.mod -> error: file not found

insmod normal -> error: file not found

No progress from here!

Well the grub version at debian-ports is grub*_1.99-21
+hurd.1_hurd-i386.deb and the latest Debian one is  1.99-21. So the
versions are the same. I have seen the discussion on this list for a
Hurd patch, and as I see it, the patch applied by Samuel for Debian is
for the latest Debian version. Maybe there are later upstream versions,
but I am not sure if newer version will enter Debian/Wheezy, the freeze
is in less than two months.

If I understand you silence right, there is no hope of any help from the
core grub developers. What a pity. I will have to reinstall a working
grub some other way then. Still wondering why ls /path lists all files,
including file.mod but ls /path/file.mod errors out??

In upstream it's all fixed. We don't do any packaging. Contact Debian.

Well, grub-devel does not handle Debian scripts

In that file on my system, that line is

for i in `echo $RET | sed -e 's/, / /g'` ; do

> grub-install --force --no-floppy $real_device

is the above line 557 in your system?

As I mentioned in my other mail, simplest is to use an installation CD
as a rescue CD.

Hi, I have a problem on my dual mode installation, win7 and ubuntu 9.10.
When I hibernate in win 7 the pc, after a few hours, boots itself on
automatically into the os selected. Is there a fix for this. I have the
latest SW and bios installed.

Also, would it be possible, in a dual boot system, to use the win 7 boot
loader instead of the ubuntu or grub loader.
