Title:
Grub2's chainloader cannot load extlinux (syslinux)
Status in grub2 package in Ubuntu:
Expired
Bug description:
As reported on the Grub developer's mailing list (http://osdir.com/ml
/grub-devel-gnu/2009-07/msg00387.html ), Grub 2 has a bug that
prevents it from reporting sufficient information about the partition
table when chainloading other boot loaders.
Among others, this affects users who want to chainload extlinux (part
of the syslinux package) from Grub2. I believe, this refers to the
same bug that was discussed by the Syslinux author at
http://syslinux.zytor.com/archives/2006-October/007527.html
I forward-ported the patch from the Grub mailing list, and it fixes
the problem for me. The patch is attached to this bug report.
