Hi, In transitioning from the virtualbox world to actual hardware, I have hit a snag and I am hoping y'all can help.
I have followed the 7.8-rc1 book all the way up to installing grub. But, when I try to install grub, it generates an error: root:/# grub-install /dev/sdb Installing for i386-pc platform. grub-install: error: disk `lvm/vg1-lfs--root' not found. My specific situation is that I am running on: Dell Optiplex 755 with 2 physical drives: /dev/sda (windows 8) a SATA III /dev/sdb (debian 8) an SSD On the second drive, I have 4 partitions set up: /dev/sdb1 /boot /dev/sdb2 / /dev/sdb3 Swap /dev/sdb4 LVM The LVM set up is as follows: pvdisplay PV Name /dev/sdb4 VG Name vg1 lvdisplay LV Path /dev/vg1/lfs-root LV Name lfs-root LV Path /dev/vg1/lfs-swap LV Name lfs-swap ls /dev/mapper/ control vg1-lfs--root vg1-lfs--swap In Jessie, /boot contained the grub boot stuff for jessie. In order to allow LFS to manage the boot process, I moved the files into an _archive folder. I then copied all of the $LFS/boot files into /boot. I entered the LFS chroot and ran: grub-install /dev/sdb That's when I got the error. I figure that I can recover the debian grub instance as a fallback, but I would rather give LFS control. So, as a recap... /boot is on /dev/sdb1, the LFS chroot is on /dev/vg1/lfs-root and the LFS swap is on /dev/vg1/lfs-swap. I would like to be able to boot the system using grub. Any insights appreciated. Thanks, Will
