--- Begin Message ---Package: grub Version: 0.97-29 Severity: normal I was doing some partition handling on my laptop and due to that my root partition got renumbered (hda6 -> hda5). When I rebooted Grub failed to load so I started on a Debian CD in rescue mode. When I wanted to re-run 'grub-install (hd0)' it failed with: The file /boot/grub/stage1 not read correctly. First the message is not correct english, it lacks a verb. And even then, it's not clear what's wrong. Apparently it uses grub to extract the file that he just put in place and verify that they are the same. The underlying problem was that it wasn't able to extract the file because find_device uses "df" to find out the partition associated to a given directory and df in turn uses /etc/mtab. In that case, since I was in an emergency shell, /etc/mtab wasn't properly updated and furthermore it contained outdated information pointing to the old name of the root filesystem. I had /proc mounted and it should have used /proc/mounts to identify the device before eventually falling back to something else like df. For reference, here's the code that I'm referring to: find_device () { # For now, this uses the program `df' to get the device name, but is # this really portable? tmp_fname=`df $1/ | sed -n 's%.*\(/dev/[^ ]*\).*%\1%p'` [...] # Get the root drive. root_device=`find_device ${rootdir}` Cheers, -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.22-1-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fr_FR.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages grub depends on: ii libc6 2.6.1-2 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libncurses5 5.6+20070825-1 Shared libraries for terminal hand grub recommends no packages. -- no debconf information
