I spoke too soon, too. Sys-boot/grub-0.97-r17 compiled and installed all |
| 24 |
right, as a package, but when I went to install it to the MBR I got an error |
| 25 |
complaining of a mismatch or corruption in stage X. The wording was |
| 26 |
something like that, and I forget the value of X. There was no mention of |
| 27 |
disk space, and the boot partition is 2GB, so I think it's something else. |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
Installing sys-boot/grub-static-0.97-r12 instead went smoothly, so I've left |
| 30 |
it like that for the moment. |

Does the team think I should go back to grub-0.97-r17, take proper records |
| 33 |
and file a bug report? |
