Description of Problem: When I allow grub to boot my windows partition (both 98se2 and me) apm support is then broken in windows. Switching back to lilo and allowing it to boot the windows partition, apm then works. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): grub-0.90-11 How Reproducible: 100% reproducible on my thinkpad 570 Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual Results: Expected Results: Additional Information: At one point after windows trashed my mbr, and I had rebooted my linux partition with the recovery disk, I restored the MBR with lilo out of force of habit. Once I rebooted and noticed the graphical eye candy was gone, I went back into my linux partition and reinstalled grub. At that point, I probably putzed with the config file a little, but not much, and reinstalled grub. I am not sure if this same problem happens with the normal installed image, or if it happens on lots of platforms, but it happens like clockwork on mine. Doing a google search shows one minor reference to it from a grub developer, and suggests finding a "newer version of grub". My newer version of grub will be lilo until I hear otherwise, this wasted a BUNCH of my time (whoda thunk of looking at my linux setup to understand why my Windows setup broke... its usually the other way around :( ).
It's fixed in GRUB CVS and our current packages have the fix included. Updated packages with the fix can be found at http://people.redhat.com/~katzj/grub/ *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 54375 ***
