make sure about that.
You'll find the output of the following command in the attachment of this e-mail
(only stderr):
# sh -x grub-install --no-floppy --grub-setup=/bin/true (hd0)
The »--no-floppy --grub-setup=«-part is taken from Felix first e-mail, as I do
not want to install GrUB2 into my MBR until I'm not sure it works.
HOWEVER, even if it's a false positive, the UUID boot path is supposed to
work;
So please check the 32-bit (actually 16-byte) code you mentioned above. Is it
the same as deed8901-3bdc-4912-a2c3-cff34ddeb147 ?
Sorry for messing up the size, I tried to recollect that from memory and wasn't
sure about the value anymore. ;)
The UUID you've given should be shown on the rescue console in that error
message, right? If that was the question, yes it is shown as the UUID value.

»rescue set« yielded:
prefix=(hd1,5)(UUID=deed8901-3bdc-4912-a2c3-cff34ddeb147)/grub/
root=(hd1,5)
I hope, this helps in solving the problem.
Thank you for your replys,
Kai

As I already told him privately in german the problem is device.map says (hd0) /dev/hdc (hd1) /dev/hdd But /proc/mounts says everything inclusive /boot is on /dev/hdd I don't know if this should be changed, but better not discuss this in this report ;) I hope, this helps in solving the problem. Thanks this double prefix issue is now solved with the ..24-5 upload we made this night and Robert uploaded :) As soon as you got the new ..24-5 version, please do grub-install --grub-setup=/bin/true (hd0) so core.img gets recreated, if you still want to chainload it. Or for the Linux mdraid guys you can use (md0) if your /boot is on /dev/md0 This issue doestn't exist with grub2 in mbr and so core.img gets directly loaded by it. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Hello,
Hello,
I'm not using an LVM on this machine and still get the error that the file
normal.mod can not be found and in the error message there is an doubleslash
displayed (something along the lines UUID={32Bit-Code}/boot/grub//normal.mod).
I installed GRUB2 yesterday, updating from a GRUB1. I installed it in
chainloader mode as was advised in the Debconf message (per pre-selection).
As I'm not quite sure which kind of additional/further information you may
need,
please feel free to ask me for any.
Please type on the rescue prompt of grub set
and then tell us the value of prefix and root
You use only /dev/hdd on your linux but it's (hd1) in device.map
If you're BIOS directly boots from hdd then change your device.map
please, it will only be regenerated if it doestn't exist or is clearly
wrong i.e. missing devices.
Or do you have grub-legacy somehow on (hd0) sdc installed and loading
grub2 from (hd1) sdd?

Bah, again something which I should do in one email and not 2. Because you have an UUID prefix, I think your device.map order is the problem. grub2 is thinking you want a cross install i.e. have the mbr code on hd0 but /boot on hd1 So if that's the case please change device.map and then do grub-install --no-floppy --grub-setup=/bin/true (hd0) That's what postinst does to generate the core.img with --grub-setup=/bin/true your MBR won't change. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

The doubleslash is merely a distraction. I fixed it in upstream, but I don't
think it's the cause of your problem.
I see that Felix suspects this is a false positive when checking for cross-disk
install. If you run sh -x grub-install and send us the output, we could
