Hopefully these are 12.04 (precise) machines? This is bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/1060404 Grub isn't allowed to run in a container. (In certain cases, where using a block device backed container to prepare a VM for use by kvm for instance, it might make sense to set it up to allow that, but I don't think that's your case). Well, in your case it fails bc it can't find a device node for /, but even if it could it would fail trying to install grub. Which woudl be a good thing as otherwise it would overwrite your host's grub. -serge ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Master SQL Server Development, Administration, T-SQL, SSAS, SSIS, SSRS and more.
