Summary: Boot fails due to EFI grub.cfg missing braces around root partition e.g. hd0,gpt4 Project: GNU GRUB Submitted by: dmacias Submitted on: Fri 07 Apr 2017 02:38:27 PM UTC Category: Booting Severity: Major Priority: 5 - Normal Item Group: None Status: None Privacy: Public Assigned to: None Originator Name: Derek Macias Originator Email: derekmac...@live.com Open/Closed: Open Discussion Lock: Any Release: Release: 2.02~beta1 Reproducibility: Every Time Planned Release: None _______________________________________________________ Details: I created a UEFI usb boot disk of Linux Mint 18.1 Cinnamon x64. Installation is on a 256GB internal SSD (/dev/sda). I have /dev/sda1 which is 100 MiB EFI system partition with mount point at /boot/efi formatted to fat32 and /dev/sda4 is root formatted to xfs. Install went fine except that on reboot I get the grub console. I tracked down the problem to grub-efi-amd64 or grub-efi-amd64-signed created a /boot/efi/EFI/ubuntu/grub.cfg with missing () arround the root partition which is the reason for the failed boot. Here is the line created in grub.cfg: search.fs_uuid 6ef44b4a-5164-4f1d-83b2-1cc82720dde0 root hd0,gpt4 should be:sudo apt install --reinstall grub-efi-amd64-signed or sudo apt install --reinstall grub-efi-amd64 search.fs_uuid 6ef44b4a-5164-4f1d-83b2-1cc82720dde0 root (hd0,gpt4) This can be recreated by deleting the /boot/efi/EFI/ubuntu/grub.cfg and running sudo apt install --reinstall grub-efi-amd64-signed or sudo apt install --reinstall grub-efi-amd64ed the package 4/5/17) I upgraded (2.02~beta2-36ubuntu3.8) to 2.02~beta2-36ubuntu3.9. The same result. No braces around root partition. _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?50749> _______________________________________________ Message sent via/by Savannah http://savannah.gnu.org/ _______________________________________________ Bug-grub mailing list Bug-grub@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-grub
