[bug #33229] Truecrypt System Volume Header gets overwritten

[Patrick]

Follow-up Comment #6, bug #33229 (project grub):

Patch tested, works fine for me.

The next problem i have is again with grub: Why is it not possible to have
"menuentry"s in a embedded config files  (in core.img) ???

I totally didn't expect that this wouldn't be possible. Should have read the
last sentence in the docu earlier. It's just that I fail to understand why
it's not possible. I wanted to install grub with an embedded config and
display a menu "Windows/Linux". Then when I choose linux, use "set
root=(linux); configfile grub.cfg" and for windows use a different root. The
linux root can't be on a windows drive and vice versa because i run one
operating system natively and the other virtual. In the Windows VNative case I
use VMWare Player and it will not let Linux Virtual (grub) access sectors on a
disk that is in use by Windows. Qemu-kvm which I use for Linux Native doesn't
have that "problem" but I actually would rather like to avoid accessing
mounted filesystems there as well. Which means either unmounting /boot,
booting Windows Virtual, mounting /boot again OR having grub not access the
files in /boot in the first place by using an embedded "Windows/Linux"
selection menu. Which brings us back to the original question.
