[Bug 610652] Re: vmbuilder randomly fails to install grub
Just found this one after posting on #946022. I have the same problem. For me it occurs around half the time. Fails in the same way in grub: ** [out :: host-nwtn1.nwtn] 2013-03-17 10:52:33,044 DEBUG : ['chroot', '/tmp/tmpgvQfyy', 'grub', '--device-map=/tmp/vmbuilder-grub/device.map', '--batch'] ** [out :: host-nwtn1.nwtn] 2013-03-17 10:52:33,044 DEBUG : stdin was set and it was a string: root (hd0,0) ** [out :: host-nwtn1.nwtn] setup (hd0) ** [out :: host-nwtn1.nwtn] EOT ** [out :: host-nwtn1.nwtn] 2013-03-17 10:52:33,197 DEBUG : ** [out :: host-nwtn1.nwtn] 2013-03-17 10:52:33,197 DEBUG : [ Minimal BASH-like line editing is supported.

[Bug 610652] Re: vmbuilder randomly fails to install grub
vmbuilder should generate a proper /etc/mtab file in the disk image / chroot before running grub. For some reason grub requires that /etc/mtab contains the root partition in the mtab list. embedded mode for grub fails since vmbuilder makes partitions starting from sector 1. virt-manager starts from sector 63. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to vm-builder in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/610652 Title: vmbuilder randomly fails to install grub To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/vm-builder/+bug/610652/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs

[Bug 610652] Re: vmbuilder randomly fails to install grub
Thanks for reporting this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. I'm a little confused about your last comment: you first said that you were able to reproduce roughly 50% of the time with identical conditions. But your last comment says it *does* seem related to size of the LV? You don't show any results which failed though. Can you elaborate? ** Changed in: vm-builder (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => High ** Changed in: vm-builder (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- vmbuilder randomly fails to install grub https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/610652 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to vm-builder in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs

The original 'it fails ~50% of the time' was when I was testing with my desired setup of a 10 GB LV. The test01 -> test30 lines are from a different, and later, run to the original more verbose excerpts. -- vmbuilder randomly fails to install grub https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/610652 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to vm-builder in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
