Package: grub-common Version: 2.02~beta2-21 Severity: important Dear Maintainer,
I just tried to install Debian Jessie using the current debian-installer for Jessie. I went through the installation and created a partition layout like this: /dev/vda1 2GiB Swap /dev/vda2 40GiB JFS2 I have other installations with Debian Wheezy that work fine with this and installation progressed normally. However, finishing up the installation and trying to install grub to /dev/vda, I got a fatal error "unknown filesystem". Entering the newly installed system from the chroot, the issue seems to be that update-grub fails because the call 'grub-probe --target=fs -d /dev/vda2' fails with 'Unknown filesystem' instead of returning the correct value. # file -Ls /dev/vda2 /dev/vda2: JFS2 filesystem image, 79713504 blocks, blocksize 4096 # grub-probe --target=fs -d /dev/vda2 grub-probe: error: unknown filesystem. I would have expected to be able to just install grub with the JFS as root device, as it did quite a few times before. -- Package-specific info: *********************** BEGIN /proc/mounts /dev/vda2 / jfs rw,noatime 0 0 /dev/vda2 /dev/.static/dev jfs rw,noatime 0 0 /dev/sr0 /cdrom iso9660 ro,relatime 0 0 *********************** END /proc/mounts *********************** BEGIN /boot/grub/grub.cfg # # DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE # # It is automatically generated by grub-mkconfig using templates # from /etc/grub.d and settings from /etc/default/grub # ### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/00_header ### if [ -s $prefix/grubenv ]; then set have_grubenv=true load_env fi if [ "${next_entry}" ] ; then set default="${next_entry}" set next_entry= save_env next_entry set boot_once=true else set default="0" fi if [ x"${feature_menuentry_id}" = xy ]; then menuentry_id_option="--id" else menuentry_id_option="" fi export menuentry_id_option if [ "${prev_saved_entry}" ]; then set saved_entry="${prev_saved_entry}" save_env saved_entry set prev_saved_entry= save_env prev_saved_entry set boot_once=true fi function savedefault { if [ -z "${boot_once}" ]; then saved_entry="${chosen}" save_env saved_entry fi } function load_video { if [ x$feature_all_video_module = xy ]; then insmod all_video else insmod efi_gop insmod efi_uga insmod ieee1275_fb insmod vbe insmod vga insmod video_bochs insmod video_cirrus fi } if loadfont unicode ; then set gfxmode=auto load_video insmod gfxterm fi terminal_output gfxterm if [ "${recordfail}" = 1 ] ; then set timeout=-1 else if [ x$feature_timeout_style = xy ] ; then set timeout_style=menu set timeout=5 # Fallback normal timeout code in case the timeout_style feature is # unavailable. else set timeout=5 fi fi ### END /etc/grub.d/00_header ### ### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/05_debian_theme ### set menu_color_normal=cyan/blue set menu_color_highlight=white/blue ### END /etc/grub.d/05_debian_theme ### ### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/10_linux ### function gfxmode { set gfxpayload="${1}" } set linux_gfx_mode= export linux_gfx_mode menuentry 'Debian GNU/Linux' --class debian --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os $menuentry_id_option 'gnulinux-simple-/dev/vda2' { load_video insmod gzio if [ x$grub_platform = xxen ]; then insmod xzio; insmod lzopio; fi insmod part_msdos echo 'Loading Linux 3.16.0-4-amd64 ...' linux /boot/vmlinuz-3.16.0-4-amd64 root=/dev/vda2 ro quiet echo 'Loading initial ramdisk ...' initrd /boot/initrd.img-3.16.0-4-amd64 } submenu 'Advanced options for Debian GNU/Linux' $menuentry_id_option 'gnulinux-advanced-/dev/vda2' { menuentry 'Debian GNU/Linux, with Linux 3.16.0-4-amd64' --class debian --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os $menuentry_id_option 'gnulinux-3.16.0-4-amd64-advanced-/dev/vda2' { load_video insmod gzio if [ x$grub_platform = xxen ]; then insmod xzio; insmod lzopio; fi insmod part_msdos echo 'Loading Linux 3.16.0-4-amd64 ...' linux /boot/vmlinuz-3.16.0-4-amd64 root=/dev/vda2 ro quiet echo 'Loading initial ramdisk ...' initrd /boot/initrd.img-3.16.0-4-amd64 } menuentry 'Debian GNU/Linux, with Linux 3.16.0-4-amd64 (recovery mode)' --class debian --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os $menuentry_id_option 'gnulinux-3.16.0-4-amd64-recovery-/dev/vda2' { load_video insmod gzio if [ x$grub_platform = xxen ]; then insmod xzio; insmod lzopio; fi insmod part_msdos echo 'Loading Linux 3.16.0-4-amd64 ...' linux /boot/vmlinuz-3.16.0-4-amd64 root=/dev/vda2 ro single echo 'Loading initial ramdisk ...' initrd /boot/initrd.img-3.16.0-4-amd64 } } ### END /etc/grub.d/10_linux ### ### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/20_linux_xen ### ### END /etc/grub.d/20_linux_xen ### ### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober ### ### END /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober ### ### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/30_uefi-firmware ### ### END /etc/grub.d/30_uefi-firmware ### ### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/40_custom ### # This file provides an easy way to add custom menu entries.
