Description gcd 2013-02-19 06:13:25 CET

The "drakboot" program crashed. Drakbug-15.19 caught it.

Trying to reinstall a grub2 boot loader because the install was calling for a 1280x1024 desktop graphical display on a 1024x769 laptop screen. I first tried to use grub instead but it did not replace the grub2 loader.

thinkpad x-31 with ati radeon chipset. 

grub2-install failed: /usr/sbin/grub2-bios-setup: warning: File system `ext2' doesn't support embedding.
/usr/sbin/grub2-bios-setup: warning: Embedding is not possible.  GRUB can only be installed in this setup by using blocklists.  However, blocklists are UNRELIABLE and their use is discouraged..
/usr/sbin/grub2-bios-setup: error: will not proceed with blocklists.
