I've been testing with grub and found an interesting problem. When I install the package http://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org/packages/grub/0.97/71.fc15/x86_64/grub-0.97-71.fc15.x86_64.rpm everything is fine and grub works as it should: [root@localhost x86_64-redhat]# grub Probing devices to guess BIOS drives. This may take a long time. GNU GRUB version 0.97-71.fc15 (640K lower / 3072K upper memory) [ Minimal BASH-like line editing is supported. For the first word, TAB lists possible command completions. Anywhere else TAB lists the possible completions of a device/filename.] grub> root (hd0,1) root (hd0,1) Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83 grub> setup (hd0) setup (hd0) Checking if "/boot/grub/stage1" exists... yes Checking if "/boot/grub/stage2" exists... yes Checking if "/boot/grub/e2fs_stage1_5" exists... yes Running "embed /boot/grub/e2fs_stage1_5 (hd0)"... 26 sectors are embedded. succeeded Running "install /boot/grub/stage1 (hd0) (hd0)1+26 p (hd0,1)/boot/grub/stage2 /boot/grub/grub.conf"... succeeded Done. grub> quit quit [root@localhost x86_64-redhat]# When I recompile the grub-rpm and reinstall it I get this: [root@localhost x86_64-unknown]# grub Probing devices to guess BIOS drives.

(with the downloaded package) Running "embed /boot/grub/e2fs_stage1_5 (hd0)"... 31 sectors are embedded. (with the recompiled package) All newer packages result in the same error "Error 6rd: Mismatched or corrupt version of stage1/stage2" and grub reports that 31 sectors have been embedded. So why does the gcc-4.6.0-10.fc15.x86_64 breaks my package??? -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
