Further to comment #4, the C/H/S issue could still be a quirk on this
boxes handling of SATA & PATA drives, and/or combination of BIOS setting
that impacts or interferes with grub ie. will only impact some
prehistoric boxes that contain both PATA & SATA drives, which will be
EOL in Ubuntu world come 2019-April or end of x86 era maybe

[Bug 1889041] Re: bionic daily install to sdc, reboot and UUID not found (grub rescue)

2020-07-27 Thread Chris Guiver
A re-install of Xubuntu 18.04/bionic daily has completed.

Grub correctly shows (x)ubuntu on sda1, and another Ubuntu on sdc1 (last
install in comment #3 was lubuntu)...

On selecting SDC1/Ubuntu 18.04 I get the error


error: no such device: 31c58e86-0f12-4980-ac89-eaa469ca4e80
error: hd2 cannot get C/H/S values.
error: you need to load kernel first.

Press any key to continue.


I've seen that issue before, had it on a QA-test install of 18.04.4, so
it's not new, but it wasn't there during eoan (development) cycle, as it
was the error on the eoan partition (now erased) on SDC, that booted
fine until a RC of 18.04.4 was installed creating that issue. As I
didn't care about eoan it was not a high priority (it'll be recorded on
a qa-test for 18.04.4 if I can find it; this is a duplicate??)

I'm now convinced issue is with `grub2-common` (grub-install), wonder if
there is a wordsize change or something... but I'm guessing...

An earlier Lubuntu (daily) install was made to SDA without issues.

After the Xubuntu failure... I re-ran Lubuntu install but this time
tried installing to SDC.  It completed and looked good, (just as Xubuntu
did), then on reboot - it dropped to GRUB RESCUE just as Xubuntu did.

I booted the LIVE daily image again, the UUID (now changed due to
Lubuntu re-format of SDC) was the correct one it was looking for ... but
same identical issue.

This box is STRANGE, it has settings for PATA drives, plus SATA, and I
suspect issues is this, ie. a quirk to his box & how it handles PATA &
SATA drives..  MBR security however is & was off.

SDA is PATA  (so is DVD-RW)
SDB & SDC are SATA
