With a non-standard kernel. Thats no official Debian kernel.


Yes, I know. Never experienced any problem with it.

You install software from experimental. You even install a bootloader (!)
package from experimental. But you do not know how to configure a package
or do not know that above error message refers to configuring a package?

I recommend to learn package management basics before using *any* package
from experimental. Heck, I´d even stay away from unstable, before I knew a
bit more about package management. (Although unstable is IMHO quite tame
at the moment.)

What did you expect to gain from installing grub 2.00 anyway?

I omit answer to your question as Tom already gave it.

If you still have problems please post output of the dpkg / apt-get
command you tried.

Thanks,

Well, I know about experimental repository and unstability of packages within it.  But my Debian system is working over 3 years, and i've decided all problems i've faced with. Usually I use google for this, but couldn't find anything about my issue, that's because i've decided to ask some help in debian-user.
