Thanks, I'll check.

Yes, the bug was in 1.4RC1, but I believed it was fixed in CVS. Have you tried
install DL on CF from DL, loaded as a LiveCD?

Based on the information your provided in the bug description I'd like to ask
you to check elf-flags of "/sbin/grub" binary in your CVS build.

"paxctl -v /sbin/grub"

paxctl is absent in DL ISO, but you can copy it from the build environment.

Thanks,
Serge
