I noticed that if I build the KVM guest with virtio disk completely in LVM and use grub2 to boot from LVM this issue is avoided. Note that you can't use linux-image-virtual when doing this since it lacks the drivers for DM (and it's not just modules either.) -- Lucid Alpha 2 server iso install fails at bootloader in KVM https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/524434 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Some history and quirks.
1) This system has had the virtual disk swapped to SCSI and back to
virtio.
2) grub-pc postinst fails after a switch from SCSI to virtio with cannot find
/dev/disk/by-id/
(There is *NO* /dev/disk/by-id with virtio)
3) After purging grub-pc and reinstalling it, the postinst can no longer
find a disk where grub should be installed.
4) grub-install --recheck /dev/vda works just fine
Thoughts.
1) udev persistent storage rules probably need to match the [vs]d*[!0-9]
wildmat instead of sd*[!0-9].
2) Until udev is fixed, it would be pleasant if grub-pc.postinst would fallback
to /dev/disk/by-uuid.
I think this does it.

printf '%s %s\n' $path $(readlink -f $path)
done | sort -k2 -s -u | cut -d' ' -f1
)
echo $cached_available_ids
}
3) Yes, I know testing is a pain, but it's probably worth checking that install
works with kvm with all three possible ways of providing disk.
