| | Hi

| | I just got an amd64/smp with 8GB of ram
| | the latest install iso worked perfect except that grub failed, I had to enter the master block
| | (/dev/sda) by hand in the intercace and it worked.
| | After the reboot, I get the grub menu and the error message that was previously mentionned on this
| | list(I just subscribed today but checked the archives).
| |
| | I read from an email last thursday from Goswin that
| |
| | http://debian-amd64.alioth.debian.org/grub_0.95+cvs20040624-7.0.0.1.pure64.1_amd64.deb
| replying to myself
|
| I tested this package. here is what I get when I run it after
| an install from CD + chroot /target+ add amd64 mirror to /etc/apt/sources.list+apt-get install grub
|
| > grub
| D: addr=0x555cd200
| D: mbi.mem_lower = 0x280
| D: RAW_ADDR (mbi.mem_lower * 10214) = 0x555f5000
| D: len = 0x1
| D: (addr - 0x100000) + len = 0x554cd201
| D: RAW_ADDR (0x1000) = 0x55556000 RAW_ADDR(0x100000)=0x55655000
