Package: grub-pc
Version: 1.97-1

Hi,

When I upgrade grub-common and grub-pc on my MacBook Pro to 1.97-1 and
reboot, the system halts after printing "GRUB". The system booted
successfully before upgrading from 1.97~beta4-1 and booted
successfully again after downgrading to 1.97~beta3-1 (I couldn't find
1.97~beta4-1 at the time).

Did you see a warning/error from the grub-install run in the postinst
that it couldn't embed core.img?
Please try if with 1.97-1 running grub-install --force yourself fixes
this.
We didn't change anything in the first stage bootcode, so this is
probable because the core.img on the disk has changed the position but
the MBR wasn't updated.

This is the problem:
grub-setup: warn: This GPT partition label has no BIOS Boot Partition;
embedding won't be possible!
grub-setup: warn: Embedding is not possible. GRUB can only be
installed in this setup by using blocklists. However, blocklists are
UNRELIABLE and its use is discouraged.
grub-setup: error: If you really want blocklists, use --force.

core.img gets written to /boot/grub but then grub-setup fails to update
the MBR with the new sectors.
If you can still boot without running grub-install/grub-setup --force
yourself you can only boot as long as the old core.img doestn't get
overwritten on the disk or the new one has exactly the same startsector.

Anyway I added now --force to the postinst, so with the next upload you
won't have that problem again.
