Follow-up Comment #2, bug #28807 (project grub): The filesystem is ext2. Here are the results of grub-fstest:
# ./grub-fstest /dev/sda ls (loop0) (loop0,6) (loop0,5) (loop0,3) (loop0,2) (loop0,1) (host) # ./grub-fstest /dev/sda ls '(loop0,6)' Partition loop0,6: Filesystem type ext2, Last modification time 2010-02-04 07:04:15 Thursday, UUID 84b34ca9-d870-44c2-8809-2e43c782c51e # ./grub-fstest /dev/sda ls '(loop0,6)/' lost+found/ var/ etc/ media/ initrd.img lib/ usr/ home/ dev/ proc/ bin/ boot/ mnt/ root/ tmp/ sbin/ selinux/ sys/ srv/ opt/ vmlinuz # ./grub-fstest /dev/sda ls '(loop0,6)/boot' grub/ vmlinuz-2.6.26-2-686 config-2.6.26-2-686 System.map-2.6.26-2-686 initrd.img-2.6.26-2-686 # ./grub-fstest /dev/sda6 ls (loop0) (host) # ./grub-fstest /dev/sda6 ls '/' lost+found/ var/ etc/ media/ initrd.img lib/ usr/ home/ dev/ proc/ bin/ boot/ mnt/ root/ tmp/ sbin/ selinux/ sys/ srv/ opt/ vmlinuz # ./grub-fstest /dev/sda6 ls '/boot/' grub/ vmlinuz-2.6.26-2-686 config-2.6.26-2-686 System.map-2.6.26-2-686 initrd.img-2.6.26-2-686 I think that this means that grub-fstest is OK. When I boot up into the grub bootloader and I tab-complete to the appropriate directory, the grub bootloader thinks that the directory is empty: sh:grub> linux (ata0,6)/boot/ (tab complete) sh:grub> linux (ata0,6)/boot/ (tab complete) sh:grub> linux (ata0,6)/boot/ (tab complete) sh:grub> linux (ata0,6)/boot/ (tab complete) If I "force" the filename and press enter, I get: sh:grub> linux (ata0,6)/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.26-2-686 Error: out of disk _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?28807> _______________________________________________ Message sent via/by Savannah http://savannah.gnu.org/ _______________________________________________ Bug-grub mailing list Bug-grub@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-grub
