%general-entities; ]> Grub This package is known to have issues when its default optimization flags (including the -march and -mcpu options) are changed. If any environment variables that override default optimizations have been defined, such as CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS, unset them when building Grub. Prepare Grub for compilation: ./configure --prefix=/usr Compile the package: make To test the results, issue: make check. Install the package: make install mkdir /boot/grub cp /usr/share/grub/i386-pc/stage{1,2} /boot/grub Replace i386-pc with whatever directory is appropriate for the hardware in use. The i386-pc directory contains a number of *stage1_5 files, different ones for different file systems. Review the files available and copy the appropriate ones to the /boot/grub directory. Most users will copy the e2fs_stage1_5 and/or reiserfs_stage1_5 files.
