[Bug 978464] Re: Upgrade 10.04 to 12.04 Beta 2 failed, grub issue
* fix released in development release
* fix uploaded into -proposed (pending approval)
* description updated with details
* ubuntu-sru team subscribed
** Description changed:
- I upgraded a 10.04 to 12.04 Beta 2.
+ [Impact]
+ Any system upgraded from Lucid->Precise is affected, if and only if the user
does not opt-in to reinstall grub-pc bootloader during the
do-release-upgrade/dist-upgrade nor reinstalls grub-pc into MBR manually before
mandatory reboot.
- After the compulsory reboot, I ended up stuck on a GRUB shell.
+ The affected system will fail to reboot, and will drop into grub shell
+ requiring manual boot.
- GRUB didn't get properly updated
+ [Workaround]
+ Users should follow the warnings about potential incompatibilities, and
reinstall grub-pc into MBR/partitions as appropriate. This will update their
grub to a supported version. If users still preffers to keep old grub, we
provide Development and Stable Fixes.
- Screen shot is attached.
+ [Development Fix]
+ In the Development branch, the fix was to use backwards compatible syntax in
grub.cfg. Specifically, using ${var} syntax for variable substitution. (NB! the
$var syntax was introduced as fully supported after the grub2 1.98 release,
that is after lucid)
- I know how to pass that problem manually by upgrading grub configuration
- by hand using a LiveCD.. But obviously, for your lambda users it's going
- to be a massive blocker.
+ [Stable Fix]
+ Patch can be found at:
https://code.launchpad.net/~dmitrij.ledkov/ubuntu/precise/grub2/fix-978464/+merge/105844
+
+ [Test Case]
+ 1) Install/Have already installed: grub-common grub-pc grub-pc-bin
grub2-common from lucid (1.98-1ubuntu5)
+ 2) Make sure version of 1.98-1ubuntu5 of grub2 is used as bootloader, e.g.
run `sudo grub-install /dev/sdX # Example: sudo grub-install /dev/sda'
+
+ Note: step 1 & 2 can be accomplished by doing a fresh lucid install in
+ environment which uses grub-pc, e.g. desktop or server images, but not
+ ec2 "cloud" images.
+
+ 3) Upgrade grub-common grub-pc grub-pc-bin grub2-common from precise-proposed
(1.99-21ubuntu3.1) but do not reinstall grub into MBR. (as part of
do-release-upgrade/dist-upgrade select "Yes, continue without reinstalling
grub")
+ 4) Reboot
+
+ Assert True: reboot succeeds.
+
+ To test that bug exists: install grub-common grub-pc grub-pc-bin
+ grub2-common from precise (1.99-21ubuntu3) but dot reinstall grub into
+ MBR. Rebooting should drop into grub recovery console.
+
+ [Regression Potential]
+ Regressions are not anticipated, since only variant of valid syntax is
changed. Nonetheless users should see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2
if they are having troubles booting their system.
** Summary changed:
- Upgrade 10.04 to 12.04 Beta 2 failed, grub issue
+ Upgrade 10.04 to 12.04, drops into grub recovery shell upon reboot
** Summary changed:
- Upgrade 10.04 to 12.04, drops into grub recovery shell upon reboot
+ After LTS->LTS (lucid2precise) upgrade, drops into grub recovery shell upon
reboot
** Summary changed:

Ok. For the record during Lucid -> Precise upgrade there are warnings shown recommending to re-install grub into MBR & it offers to select which drives/partitions to auto-install grub onto from now on. User may not know where grub is currently installed. It may be better to pre-select drives/partitions which currently have grub installed in that debconf question. But this is besides the point. The two branches proposed resolve the issue. I will request merge proposals into correct branches now. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/978464 Title: Upgrade 10.04 to 12.04 Beta 2 failed, grub issue To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/978464/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

The same rationale applies to the config file. Yes.

[Bug 978464] Re: Upgrade 10.04 to 12.04 Beta 2 failed, grub issue
So from David's diff, it appears the grub in lucid did not support $var
syntax consistently, it requires us to use ${var}. I'm not sure what
the rules are for when $var is supported and when it isn't. Perhaps
it's only when quoting the variable that we have to use the latter
syntax?
Since we know we aren't going to upgrade the MBR when upgrading from
10.04 to 12.04, we should make sure our grub.cfg remains compatible with
older grub2.

[Bug 978464] Re: Upgrade 10.04 to 12.04 Beta 2 failed, grub issue
It's probably the same issue. During an upgrade, I've got asked if I wish to continue without installing grub. Since answering No would result in broken upgrade, I've answered yes. On reboot, grub dropped to a shell. It was obvious that this was grub from 10.04 (1.98) and that upgrade never installed new grub into MBR. Installing grub with 'install-grub /dev/vda' solved the problem. Note that this is virtualized system; not sure if that changes anything. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/978464 Title: Upgrade 10.04 to 12.04 Beta 2 failed, grub issue To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/978464/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
