After upgrading a virtual machine from mga6 with grub1 installed VirtualBox crashes before grub-menu is displayed!
VirtualBox process consumes 100% cpu.

Comment 2 Marc Krämer 2017-11-22 02:26:41 CET 
changed bootloader to grub2 solves the problem. But this may show up some problems for installations still using grub1!

Assigning to all packagers collectively, since there is no registered maintainer for this package.

Assigning tv as he had talked about this problem in cauldron. What about obsoleting grub with grub2 in cauldron?

The question is, is this VirtualBox specific and what changed so VirtualBox just breaks.

Personally I still prefer grub. If the systems hangs, you just have 4 options, not 4 pages. But I know we have to move on...
