Summary: probe -u returns uuid's of ntfs partition in small letters Project: GNU GRUB Submitted by: meierfra Submitted on: Thu 14 Jan 2010 12:58:11 AM GMT Category: None Severity: Major Priority: 5 - Normal Item Group: Software Error Status: None Privacy: Public Assigned to: None Originator Name: Originator Email: Open/Closed: Open Discussion Lock: Any Release: Release: 1.97 Reproducibility: Every Time Planned Release: None _______________________________________________________ Details: The command "probe -u" always uses small letters in its output. But when applied to an ntfs partition it should use capital letters. Otherwise it cannot be used in the "root=UUID=..." argument of the "linux" command. Example: Wubi is installed on some ntfs partition in the file /ubuntu/disks/root.disk The following sequence of commands from the Grub shell should boot Wubi: set path=/ubuntu/disks/root/disk search -f --set ${path} probe -u --set=Host_UUID ${root} loopback loop0 $path set root=(loop0) linux /vmlinuz root=UUID=${Host_UUID} loop=${path} ro initrd initrd.img boot But it fails with an error message like Alert /dev/disk/bu-uuid/735be1630b5aa140 does not exit. This happens since "probe -u --set=Host_UUID ${root}" set $Host_UUID equal to "735be1630b5aa140" rather than "735BE1630B5AA40" I'm sure only very few people will run into this bug. But it should be easy to fix. _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?28600> _______________________________________________ Message sent via/by Savannah http://savannah.gnu.org/ _______________________________________________ Bug-grub mailing list Bug-grub@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-grub
