Package: grub-pc Version: 1.96+20080617-1 Followup-For: Bug #486804 I can confirm the existence of this bug for a setup with / on lvm and /boot on a separate non-lv partition.
In this case root is set by default to /s lv: set root=(debian-root) However changing it to the correct boot partition doesn't help either: set root=(hd0,1) It only works when adding the correct root=-line for each grub.lst item manually. -- Package-specific info: *********************** BEGIN /proc/mounts /dev/mapper/debian-root / jfs rw,noatime 0 0 /dev/mapper/debian-root /dev/.static/dev jfs rw 0 0 /dev/sda1 /boot ext2 rw,sync,noatime,errors=continue 0 0 /dev/mapper/debian-home /home jfs rw,noatime 0 0 /dev/mapper/debian-root /opt/sid-ia32/tmp jfs rw,noatime 0 0 *********************** END /proc/mounts *********************** BEGIN /boot/grub/device.map (hd0) /dev/sda *********************** END /boot/grub/device.map *********************** BEGIN /boot/grub/grub.cfg # # DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE # # It is automatically generated by /usr/sbin/update-grub using templates # from /etc/grub.d and settings from /etc/default/grub # ### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/00_header ### set default=0 set timeout=5 set root=(hd0,1) if font /usr/share/grub/unicode.pff ; then set gfxmode=640x480 insmod gfxterm insmod vbe terminal gfxterm fi ### END /etc/grub.d/00_header ### ### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/05_debian_theme ### set root=(debian-root) insmod png if background_image /usr/share/images/desktop-base/debian-blueish-wallpaper-640x480.png ; then set color_normal=black/black set color_highlight=magenta/black else set menu_color_normal=cyan/blue set menu_color_highlight=white/blue fi ### END /etc/grub.d/05_debian_theme ### ### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/10_hurd ### ### END /etc/grub.d/10_hurd ### ### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/10_linux ### menuentry "Debian GNU/Linux, linux 2.6.25" { linux /vmlinuz-2.6.25 root=/dev/mapper/debian-root ro initrd /initrd.img-2.6.25 } menuentry "Debian GNU/Linux, linux 2.6.25 (single-user mode)" { linux /vmlinuz-2.6.25 root=/dev/mapper/debian-root ro single initrd /initrd.img-2.6.25 } menuentry "Debian GNU/Linux, linux 2.6.24-1-amd64" { linux /vmlinuz-2.6.24-1-amd64 root=/dev/mapper/debian-root ro initrd /initrd.img-2.6.24-1-amd64 } menuentry "Debian GNU/Linux, linux 2.6.24-1-amd64 (single-user mode)" { linux /vmlinuz-2.6.24-1-amd64 root=/dev/mapper/debian-root ro single initrd /initrd.img-2.6.24-1-amd64 } ### END /etc/grub.d/10_linux ### ### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/20_openbsd ### menuentry "OpenBSD" { set root=(hd0,2) chainloader +1 } ### END /etc/grub.d/20_openbsd ### ### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober ### menuentry "Windows XP Professional x64 Edition (on /dev/sda4)" { set root=(hd0,4) chainloader +1 } menuentry "Debian GNU/Linux (lenny/sid) (on /dev/sda5)" { set root=(hd0,5) linux /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.25-2-amd64 root=/dev/sda5 initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.25-2-amd64 } ### END /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober ### ### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/40_winxp ### menuentry "Windows XP Professional amd64" { set root=(hd0,4) chainloader +1 } ### END /etc/grub.d/40_winxp ### *********************** END /boot/grub/grub.cfg -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (400, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.25 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=de_CH.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=de_CH.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages grub-pc depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.22 Debian configuration management sy ii grub-common 1.96+20080617-1 GRand Unified Bootloader, version ii libc6 2.7-12 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii liblzo2-2 2.03-1 data compression library ii libncurses5 5.6+20080614-1 Shared libraries for terminal hand grub-pc recommends no packages. -- debconf information excluded -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
