Package: grub-installer
Severity: important

As of 1.95+20070505-1, grub2 supports GPT on PC/BIOS systems [1].  When user
is installing a GPT disk, grub-installer should automaticaly switch to grub2
(or the install will fail with errors).

I'll send a patch later when I have some minutes.

[1] grub2 already supports EFI, that will be enabled soon as well

Changes:

 .
   [ Colin Watson ]
   * Only purge the package from grub and grub2 that we aren't using, not both.
 .
   [ Robert Millan ]
   * Switch to grub2 when using GPT.  (Closes: #422370)
   * When installing with GRUB 2, adjust otheros entry writing to the interface
     provided by new update-grub.  (Closes: #423393)
   * When setting up a serial port with GRUB 2, adjust output to the interface
     provided by new update-grub.
 .
   [ Frans Pop ]
   * Fix incorrect detection of SATA RAID devices (dmraid) as LVM volumes.
   * Add support for installing GRUB to a Serial ATA RAID disk. Currently this
     is only possible by using a semi-manual procedure that executes commands
     in the grub command environment (grub-install cannot be used).
     The current implementation assumes that teh SATA RAID disk will be listed
     as the first boot device in the BIOS.
