Package: grub-pc Version: 1.98-1 Severity: normal
Hi, On a new machine, I wanted to test the daily-build (Monday 22) of Squeeze installer for amd64. The machine has 2 SATA hard drives, are mounted in RAID1 soft by Linux. I have a RAID1 partition "md0" to "/boot", the root is mounted on a logical volume, it uses the same partition RAID1 "md1". The installation is successfully completed, except for installing the boot loader grub2 (version 1.98-1). Through the console, I have this: # grub-install --recheck --no-floppy --modules="mdraid raid" /dev/md0 /usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: no mapping exists for `md0'. /usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: no mapping exists for `md0'. /usr/sbin/grub-setup: error: no mapping exists for `md0'. # grub-install --recheck --no-floppy /dev/sda /usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: no mapping exists for `md0'. Auto-detection of a filesystem module failed. Please specify the module with the option `--modules' explicitly. # grub-install --recheck --no-floppy --modules="mdraid raid" /dev/sda /usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: no mapping exists for `md0'. /usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: no mapping exists for `md0'. /usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: no mapping exists for `md0'. You attempted a cross-disk install, but the filesystem containing /boot/grub does not support UUIDs. # grub-install --recheck --no-floppy --modules="mdraid raid search_fs_uuid" /dev/sda /usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: no mapping exists for `md0'. /usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: no mapping exists for `md0'. /usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: no mapping exists for `md0'. You attempted a cross-disk install, but the filesystem containing /boot/grub does not support UUIDs. There is this in the file "/boot/grub/device.map": (hd0) /dev/sda (hd1) /dev/sdb The matching of UUID and devices is good: # blkid /dev/sdb1: UUID="248d7222-1d79-dd61-2766-b0f63e142f70" LABEL="eole2:0" TYPE="linux_raid_member" /dev/sdb2: UUID="76644d49-c5f7-9ab6-fe74-81c94fa9616e" LABEL="eole2:1" TYPE="linux_raid_member" /dev/mapper/VG0-swap: UUID="88469241-b7d3-4e85-97b5-d33a56bfd2fd" TYPE="swap" /dev/sda1: UUID="248d7222-1d79-dd61-2766-b0f63e142f70" LABEL="eole2:0" TYPE="linux_raid_member" /dev/sda2: UUID="76644d49-c5f7-9ab6-fe74-81c94fa9616e" LABEL="eole2:1" TYPE="linux_raid_member" /dev/md0: UUID="157deef1-ea8f-4611-9021-5e2fabcd84cf" TYPE="ext3" /dev/md1: UUID="rNyfNa-5mXA-Ne77-Z15k-KpWA-kFzL-nZbp3h" TYPE="LVM2_member" /dev/mapper/VG0-root: UUID="6e5c349c-d880-4329-a15c-e192aee4954a" TYPE="ext4" The file "/etc/fstab" (created by installer) contains: /dev/mapper/VG0-root / ext4 errors=remount-ro 0 1 UUID=157deef1-ea8f-4611-9021-5e2fabcd84cf /boot ext3 0 2 The command "grub-probe" is no more reassuring: # grub-probe -d /dev/md0 -tabstraction grub-probe: error: no mapping exists for `md0'. I read the bug report #554790 on Grub2 and UUID, but it is February. Does Grub2 (version 1.98-1) manages UUIDs? I was not able to set Grub2 with the "/dev/disk/by-id".
