Re: GRUB Error on 04-12 Images

[Frank Scheiner <frank.scheiner@web.de>]

Hi Noah,

although this is already solved (with [1]), I wanted to notify you, that
the message I'm replying to, reached me (and possibly others) only after
your last message, though it was sent earlier.

[1]: https://lists.debian.org/debian-powerpc/2019/04/msg00144.html

Looking into the message source it wasn't forwarded by [...].outlook.com
for more than 7 hours. I don't see any greylisting applied on Debian's side.

Maybe only a temporary issue, but it is irritating, especially, as the
threading on [2] is now totally strange. Your last message is shown
first in the thread, then an empty placeholder, then your actual first
message, then your "middle" message.

[2]: https://lists.debian.org/debian-powerpc/2019/04/

Cheers,
Frank
