Grub2 package for Slackware 13.0 (and older versions)

November 24th, 2009 bodom_lx No comments

For those that chose ext4 as default file-system type for their boot partition, and are having problems booting their Slackware 13.0 distribution, I built a .tgz package containing the latest Grub 2 release (currently 1.97-beta4).
It also contains a default grub.cfg file.

Please download the file here: grub-1.97~beta4-i486-1.tgz for Slackware 13.0

It should also work for Slackware 12.x and 11.0.

Enjoy!

P.S. The package is based on the one created for Grub-1.96 by user mbvo on linuxquestions.org. I simply adapted it for Grub-1.97. I also provided a new description for the package and a simpler grub.cfg file.

It’s a very long time since I abandoned Ubuntu, 1 year and 9 months being precise, although I continued to use Ubuntu derived distros.
I decided today to give Ubuntu 8.10 beta a try. Obviously, every time I decide to try a Gnu/Linux distribution it happens that a new release comes out: I downloaded Alpha 6 yesterday, I fell into problems with it and a apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade brought me Ubuntu 8.10 beta, correcting some of them :-)
