There was a bug in the LVM module that the error variable was given back to the upper layer so it goes to rescue mode even if it shouldn't in that case. I ran grub-emu with my grub.cfg which I have attached with this email. I get the following error when I use the grub.cfg in grub-emu error: invalid arch independent ELF magic I have attached grub.cfg along with this email. grub.cfg_broken gives the above error while grub.cfg_working is the only working config file to make my laptop boot. This is normal grub-emu doestn't support modules at all but lvm.mod is compiled in, so you don't need to load it to use your lvm devices with e.g. `ls' command. Once again I am sorry for this late reply. Once again no problem :) A `late' reply like yours is better then getting none at all for months. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Bug#462835: Bug #462835 grub-pc: alloc magic is broken
I'm a bit unsure if 28 days are enough to wait for a reply, maybe you're in holidays somewhere or my mail just landed in the spam filter. So please don't get me wrong. `alloc magic is broken' is important to fix, but unfortunately not easy to trace down. I just want to make sure if this still happens for you. grub2 is actively developed so it can be that the original cause of this has been fixed in the meanwhile. The problem maybe has only to do with lvm.mod but isn't directly located in there. So please test this with at least the current lenny version (1.96+20080724-7) If you still have problems, then it would be good if you test current upstream SVN. [0] From your last mail on April: I am still having problems with grub2. What problems do you have? Still this `alloc magic' with lvm? Is there any particular way that grub-emu should be called. Maybe the mail from Robert got lost, just run `grub-emu'. The lvm.mod is compiled into it so it can be that it just crashes on startup in your case. `grub-emu' works similiar to real GRUB, you get the menu displayed and can press `c' for the command line. And then you can type GRUB commands to it, for example `help' to get the list.

Sorry for a late reply. Firstly I hadnt check this email for a long time as I was busy with my work and secondly my girl friend had borrowed my laptop for the last three months. I do not get the alloc magic is broken error any more with grub2 and lvm.mod. Grub2 never works if I have lvm.mod included. I ran grub-emu with my grub.cfg which I have attached with this email. I get the following error when I use the grub.cfg in grub-emu error: invalid arch independent ELF magic I have attached grub.cfg along with this email. grub.cfg_broken gives the above error while grub.cfg_working is the only working config file to make my laptop boot.
