<div dir="ltr">I just submitted a bug about this, but it occurs to me you list users may have seen this before, or have suggestions.<br><br><p>I have just now removed some old kernels. I did an update-grub, but<br>
grub-install /dev/sda<br>
is reporting an odd error that I've never seen before:</p>
<p>root@roisin:~# grub-install /dev/sda<br>
Installing for i386-pc platform.<br>
grub-install: warning: Sector 50 is already in use by the program
`FlexNet'; avoiding it. This software may cause boot or other problems
in future. Please ask its authors not to store data in the boot track.</p>
<p>I do not know what FlexNet is. Synaptic does not either. This
machine has stock Windows 7 and Xubuntu partitions only, and AFAIK that's all
it ever had (well, earlier Windows and Kubuntu, but a long time ago).</p>
<p>At the very least, I'd like grub to report more information that
might help me figure out what's going on. Or is there some malware that
it just discovered. As it stands, I can't tell and don't know how to
investigate.</p>
