I will perhaps try this another time, but I have to reinstall after those experiments regularly from a chroot with an install CD.

Yes, this old version works and if it should stop working for me, I had to convert back from evms to mdadm with lvm2. It is only a matter of time to do it, since I lost the main feature of evms, which was for me snapshotting for backup purposes. Thanks for your help, Mathias signature.asc Description: PGP signature

Either with `grub-mkdevicemap --no-floppy' or just `grub-install --recheck --no-floppy' `grub-mkdevicemap' is in grub-common too. >I will now downgrade again to grub2_1.95-5_amd64.deb, because I need this >workstation and cannot face longer downtimes. It's good that you found a version which works for you. Else I wouldn't suggest using that old version. By the way the `evms' package has been on 2008-07-24 now completely removed from Debian. So I think it's not that important now to support it, but I would like to have it working for you nevertheless. It would be very kind of you if you try it with the experimental grub-common package too. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Bug#430513: grub-pc fails to install on evms volumes (dm)
I just searched on the grub-devel archived for evms, if there was any progress about it which didn't make it into this bug report. The last message on this report is from Mathias dated 11. February. I found this with evms on grub2's upstream changelog: 2008-07-25 Robert Millan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * util/getroot.c (find_root_device): Skip devices that match /dev/dm-[0-9]. This lets the real device be found for any type of abstraction (LVM, EVMS, RAID..). (grub_guess_root_device): Do not traverse /dev/mapper (for LVM) and /dev/evms (for EVMS) before traversing /dev. If a /dev/dm-[0-9] device is found first, find_root_device() will now skip it. 2008-02-12 Robert Millan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * util/getroot.c (grub_guess_root_device): Inspect /dev/evms before /dev (like it is done for /dev/mapper). This doesn't provide support for EVMS, but at least it is now easy to identify the problem when it arises. The lenny/sid version has it's last upstream changelog from 07-23 so 2 days before the first change. Mathias could you please try it with the current lenny/sid version and with the newer one in experimental, if these evms devices now work better with grub2 ? Hopefully we can get rid of this old report :) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
