GRUB_PC (simple example): still doesn't work

[Waldemar Brodkorb]

Hi Adrian,
Adrian von Bidder wrote,

so your FAI server is Debian/squeeze and you try to get
Debian/sqeeze installed?

I think you are confusing the intention for GRUB and GRUB_PC.
GRUB_PC is for grub2 bootloader. We successfully installed
Ubuntu/Karmic, which uses grub2 as default, with a Debian/lenny FAI
server or with a Ubuntu/karmic FAI server.

GRUB is for the older grub legacy bootloader.

So double check your package list for your target system, if grub2
or grub-legacy will be used on your target.

Good luck,
        Waldemar
