Installation went fine, systems works like a champ... but then, after a while, it's time to apt-get update ; apt-get upgrade to update my kernel. That apt-get install fails because grub can't detect it's root file system: root@q-2-d.sv1:~# grub-probe / grub-probe: error: unknown filesystem. Strange, this use to work. Add in a -vv and I see: grub-core/kern/fs.c:56: Detecting zfs... grub-core/osdep/hostdisk.c:415: opening the device `/dev/sda1' in open_device() grub-core/fs/zfs/zfs.c:1192: label ok 0 grub-core/osdep/hostdisk.c:394: reusing open device `/dev/sda1' grub-core/fs/zfs/zfs.c:1007: check 2 passed grub-core/fs/zfs/zfs.c:1018: check 3 passed grub-core/fs/zfs/zfs.c:1025: check 4 passed grub-core/fs/zfs/zfs.c:1035: check 6 passed grub-core/fs/zfs/zfs.c:1043: check 7 passed grub-core/fs/zfs/zfs.c:1054: check 8 passed grub-core/fs/zfs/zfs.c:1064: check 9 passed grub-core/fs/zfs/zfs.c:1086: check 11 passed grub-core/fs/zfs/zfs.c:1112: check 10 passed grub-core/fs/zfs/zfs.c:1128: str=com.delphix:hole_birth grub-core/fs/zfs/zfs.c:1128: str=com.delphix:embedded_data grub-core/fs/zfs/zfs.c:1137: check 12 passed (feature flags) grub-core/fs/zfs/zfs.c:1875: zio_read: E 0: size 2048/2048 grub-core/fs/zfs/zfs.c:1898: endian = -1 grub-core/fs/zfs/zfs.c:595: dva=8, b00258 grub-core/osdep/hostdisk.c:394: reusing open device `/dev/sda1' grub-core/fs/zfs/zfs.c:442: checksum fletcher4 verification failed grub-core/fs/zfs/zfs.c:447: actual checksum 00000059d95adad1 00006322fba304b3 00430f321ad7f439 21e873b51c15e3bc grub-core/fs/zfs/zfs.c:452: expected checksum 000000035ca143fb 0000062fc3a48ff8 0005b49e0d96b07e 03841abf1fed586a grub-core/fs/zfs/zfs.c:1919: incorrect checksum grub-core/kern/fs.c:78: zfs detection failed.
