can you reproduce it with GRUB2 EFI on Mac?

Ok, so I tried two different setups on Oneiric (in a VM): - Regular automated partitioning with LVM + cryptsetup = worked fine - Custom manual partitioning with just one primary bootable partition as a LVM physical volume containing one VG then containing two LVs, one for my root and another for my swap. = worked fine So I'm not sure exactly what's wrong in your case and the information I found attached to your bug reports doesn't let me replicate the bug.

Stephane - In my case the level was Natty and the target was a Dell system with firmware RAID 1 against two 750 GB drives. It never wrote grub out. I could not get install to install grub. I ended up having to disable firmware RAID and fumbling through software RAID. Ubuntu has supported firmware RAID for several years now.

My original report was on a MacBookPro. I'm not sure if the RAID reports are related. I also tested in a VM, without problems, whether the LVM was encrypted or not. The problem occurred only on the Mac, both encrypted and not encrypted, when using LVM. I used the default: entire- disk. I did not opt to encrypt the home directory. The symtoms are the same on Oneirc as they were on Natty. I'm attaching the files you requested.

I have successfully deployed Natty to 8 identical servers (using MSI boards), using unencrypted LVM.

[Bug 745960] Re: Cannot boot grub after installing to LVM
While, when I selected does this bug effect you it returned saying This bug effects you and 2 other people, this is way low. From the forums this bug effects several more people. One of the references McIvor made, I believe, creates this output. I do not know how to go from here to booting in my image (as a circumvention to run grub-update.

I have the same problem with lvm encrypted with ACER5940g. it looks like my BIOS freeze and can't pass the relay to grub (only happen with an encrypted lvm). I found a way to make it works, in BIOS i set my SATA hard disk mode to IDE and now it boot, (it doesn't boot works when SATA mode is AHCI). tested on ubuntu 10.04. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/745960 Title: Cannot boot grub after installing to LVM -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 745960] Re: Cannot boot grub after installing to LVM on mac
I daresay this is not Mac-specific. I had the same thing on a Sony Vaio. Perhaps worth nothing I was using an existing /home partition. As Chad said, no grub.cfg was created. I installed GRUB using a Natty LiveUSB, but still didn't get the config file. Running update-grub in the live environment threw other errors, which I believe were a separate bug. Further compounding the issue is the fact that no one will tell you how to make your own grub.cfg, since update-grub is supposed to do it automatically. I finally managed to find an example on the forums that I used to improvise a file which allowed me to boot. Once inside the installed Natty, update-grub worked as expected. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/745960 Title: Cannot boot grub after installing to LVM on mac -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 745960] Re: Cannot boot grub after installing to LVM on mac
I reinstalled, this time with a whole-disk LVM, without encryption. Again Mac does not recognize any partitions and never hands control to grub after boot. I booted in rescue mode, set the root partition to the LVM partition, ran: grub-install /dev/sda and got: Installation finished. No error reported. However, no /boot/grub/grub.cfg is created, which I thought was supposed to be the result of grub-install. But, I'm not familiar with installing grub on LVMs. I'm attaching partman and syslog from the install. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/745960 Title: Cannot boot grub after installing to LVM on mac -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 745960] Re: Cannot boot grub after installing to LVM on mac
In rescue mode, I had set the root file system to /dev/ubuntu-alternate- lvm/root and noticed that there is no option to 'Reinstall grub', which is generally an option in rescue mode. Maybe this is specific to LVM.

Could you attach installer logs?
