[Bug 752694] Re: Grub2 installs on the wrong device if in a RAID config
Since Colin pointed out that the logs show it worked correctly and the reporter said he could not reproduce it, I'm going to close this now. ** No longer affects: grub2 (Ubuntu Natty) ** Changed in: grub2 (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed = Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/752694 Title: Grub2 installs on the wrong device if in a RAID config To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/752694/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Tried to change to D-I since thi is clearly upstream issue, LP accepted save, did nothing and removed my text. Screw it. Just tio let you know Squeeze 6.0.21 has identical behavior - D-I just overwrites first disk present not even telling the user it intends to brick the box. Happen to me on 6-disk devel box with D-I basically aliminatin hyper-v boot loader ... Really nice.

[Bug 752694] Re: Grub2 installs on the wrong device if in a RAID config
Ameet, are you sure that this installation demonstrated the problem? What I'm seeing is: * /dev/sda is a 4GB device, presumably a USB stick, and contains the installation medium * /dev/sdb is an 897GB device, rather unlikely to be a USB stick * grub-installer/bootdev defaults to /dev/sdb Unless I'm missing something, this looks as though the installer has behaved correctly ... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/752694 Title: Grub2 installs on the wrong device if in a RAID config To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/752694/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 752694] Re: Grub2 installs on the wrong device if in a RAID config
@Colin, you are correct the installer is behaving correctly now. I cannot get this system to reproduce the error on Ubuntu server 11.04 anymore. I swore I saw it the first time I put Ubuntu on this box... Anyway, I need to do some investigation on my side about when and why this occurs. i.e. installing on an existing RAID config or a new one, RAID 0 vs 1,5,10, installing Ubuntu over another OS, etc. I will update the bug when I have more data. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/752694 Title: Grub2 installs on the wrong device if in a RAID config To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/752694/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Could I have an installer syslog demonstrating the problem, please? It would help if you could ensure that the DEBCONF_DEBUG=developer boot parameter is used when booting the installer (be careful not to use valuable passwords in this case). ** Changed in: grub2 (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed = Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/752694 Title: Grub2 installs on the wrong device if in a RAID config To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/752694/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 752694] Re: Grub2 installs on the wrong device if in a RAID config
I have the same issue. The partition wizard selects /dev/cciss/c0d0 as preferred device, when selecting 'Use entire disk' it configures the root partition on this device. But grub decides to install on /dev/sda insteaf of /dev/cciss/c0d0 /dev/sda is an internal 4GB flashdrive. the HP SmartArray (cciss) is selected as primary boot device in the BIOS I'm not 100% sure (I cant verify right now) but I think I have the same issue with a Dell R805 which also has a build in internal flashdrive (for VMWare purposes, which we do not use). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/752694 Title: Grub2 installs on the wrong device if in a RAID config -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
