[Bug 888281] Re: Boot from FAT32 error and return to grub menu
This bug was fixed in the package grub2 - 1.99-18ubuntu1 --- grub2 (1.99-18ubuntu1) precise; urgency=low * Resynchronise with Debian. Remaining changes: - Adjust for default Ubuntu boot options (quiet splash). - Default to hiding the menu; holding down Shift at boot will show it. - Set a monochromatic theme and an appropriate background for Ubuntu. - Apply Ubuntu GRUB Legacy changes to legacy update-grub script. - Fix backslash-escaping in merge_debconf_into_conf. - Remove GNU/Linux from default distributor string. - Add crashkernel option. - Bypass menu unless other OSes are installed or Shift is pressed. - Allow Shift to interrupt 'sleep --interruptible'. - Reduce visual clutter in normal mode. - Remove verbose messages printed before reading configuration. - Suppress kernel/initrd progress messages, except in recovery mode. - Show the boot menu if the previous boot failed. - Don't generate device.map during grub-install or grub-mkconfig. - Adjust upgrade version checks for Ubuntu. - Suppress GRUB loading message unless Shift is held down. - Adjust versions of grub-doc and grub-legacy-doc conflicts. - Fix LVM/RAID probing in the absence of /boot/grub/device.map. - Look for .mo files in /usr/share/locale-langpack first. - Build-depend on qemu-kvm rather than qemu-system for grub-pc tests. - Check hardware support before using gfxpayload=keep. - Put second and subsequent Linux menu entries in a submenu. - Preferred resolution detection for VBE. - Set vt.handoff=7 for smooth handoff to kernel graphical mode. - Update default/grub.md5sum to include maverick's default md5sum. - In recovery mode, add nomodeset to the Linux kernel arguments, and remove the 'set gfxpayload=keep' command. - Skip Windows os-prober entries on Wubi systems, and suppress the menu by default if those are the only other-OS entries. - Handle probing striped DM-RAID devices. - Replace 'single' by 'recovery' when friendly-recovery is installed. - Use qemu -no-kvm in tests for now to work around LP #947597. - Disable cursor as early as possible in grub_main. grub2 (1.99-18) unstable; urgency=low [ Colin Watson ] * Ensure that /sbin and /usr/sbin are in $PATH when running tests (closes: #662916). * mkconfig_loopback.patch: Use different GRUB loop devices for different OS loop devices (thanks, bcbc; LP: #888281). * Backport from upstream: - Add support for LZO compression in btrfs (LP: #727535). - Fix efiemu configure check. [ Ilya Yanok ] * Backport from upstream: - Make FAT UUID uppercase to match Linux (LP: #948716). [ Debconf translations ] * Norwegian Bokmål (Hans Fredrik Nordhaug). * Gujarati (Kartik Mistry).

[Bug 888281] Re: Boot from FAT32 error and return to grub menu
Please use 'diff -u' when generating diffs. Context diffs are difficult to read, and are especially painful when there's no actual context included. Also, put the previous version on the diff command line before the new version so that the patch doesn't come out reversed. As for the substance of the patch, I had to think about it a bit to convince myself that it was safe to use Linux's loop device ordering as a unique key for GRUB's loop device naming, but after consideration I agree that it's fine. I'll apply this patch for my next upload. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/888281 Title: Boot from FAT32 error and return to grub menu To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/wubi/+bug/888281/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Okay, I see the difference in the diff -u output, and my ordering mistake. I'll make a note of that.

[Bug 888281] Re: Boot from FAT32 error and return to grub menu
I've just tested the patch on a FAT32 wubi install and it worked as intended. In order to test it, I manually edited the /usr/share/grub/grub- mkconfig_lib file during the installation (patch wasn't installed), used 'diff' to confirm it matched the patch, and then copied it to /target/usr/share/grub/grub_mkconfig_lib (/target/usr is the mount point for /dev/loop4 which is for the usr.disk virtual disk). And root.disk was mounted as /dev/loop2 on /target. The grub.cfg that was generated during the install is attached, and it shows that usr.disk will be mounted on loop4 by grub and root.disk is mounted as loop2: insmod part_msdos insmod fat set root='(hd1,msdos5)' search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root 2dab-fe25 loopback loop4 /ubuntu/disks/usr.disk set root=(loop4) if loadfont /share/grub/unicode.pf2 ; then set gfxmode=auto load_video insmod gfxterm insmod part_msdos insmod fat set root='(hd1,msdos5)' search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root 2dab-fe25 loopback loop2 /ubuntu/disks/root.disk set root=(loop2) set locale_dir=($root)/boot/grub/locale set lang=en_US insmod gettext fi ... After rebooting and selecting the Wubi install, there was no error or return to the menu. Then running sudo update-grub resulted in grub.cfg changing the loop device for usr.disk to loop1 and root.disk to loop0 (as expected): insmod part_msdos insmod fat set root='(hd1,msdos5)' search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root 2dab-fe25 loopback loop1 /ubuntu/disks/usr.disk set root=(loop1) if loadfont /share/grub/unicode.pf2 ; then set gfxmode=auto load_video insmod gfxterm insmod part_msdos insmod fat set root='(hd1,msdos5)' search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root 2dab-fe25 loopback loop0 /ubuntu/disks/root.disk set root=(loop0) set locale_dir=($root)/boot/grub/locale set lang=en_US insmod gettext fi ** Attachment added: Grub generated during the installation (ubiquity) https://bugs.launchpad.net/wubi/+bug/888281/+attachment/2832360/+files/grub.cfg.at.install -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/888281 Title: Boot from FAT32 error and return to grub menu To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/wubi/+bug/888281/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
