Upgrade, grub errors and release notes
Hi there
There have been reports about grub errors when upgrading from Squeeze to 
Wheezy. This occurs hen using a 'special' filesystem such as raid or 
lvm. EG;
~# grub-install /dev/sda /usr/sbin/grub-setup: warn: Your core.img is 
unusually large.  It won't fit in the embedding area..
/usr/sbin/grub-setup: error: embedding is not possible, but this is 
required when the root device is on a RAID array or LVM volume.
This is caused by a core.img > 31232 bytes. The solution is to start the 
first partition at the 2nd cylinder or further.
There is nothing about this in the release notes. Does this mean that 
this problem no longer exists? Or is it a release notes bug?
Regards,
Rob
