Package: grub2-common Version: 2.04-20 Severity: normal File: grub2 Tags: a11y
Dear Maintainer, * What led up to the situation? Installation of Bullseye from "debian-live-11.1.0-i386-xfce+nonfree" with fresh formatting of the "/" and swap partition of the SSD. Everything worked as expectet until the installation of the grub2: This part repeatedly led to reporting of a serious error without becoming more precise. The following boot attempt failed, and ended in a grup-prompt Almost a year ago, Debian 10 was installed on the same hardware without any problems. * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or ineffective)? Ineffective: "boot-repair-disk-32bit", it led to the same result. But: In the log there was the hint to the problem: "grub-install: error: failed to get canonical path of `/cow'." Effective: Booting the live system mount /dev/sda1 /mnt cd /mnt grub-install --recheck --root-directory=/mnt /dev/sda * What was the outcome of this action? After that, the system could be booted as usual, with the difference that there is now a textual Grub menu instead of the graphical one. -- Package-specific info: *********************** BEGIN /proc/mounts /dev/sda1 / ext4 rw,relatime,errors=remount-ro 0 0 /dev/mmcblk0p1 /home ext4 rw,relatime 0 0 *********************** END /proc/mounts *********************** BEGIN /boot/grub/grub.cfg # # DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE # # It is automatically generated by grub-mkconfig using templates # from /etc/grub.d and settings from /etc/default/grub # ### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/00_header ### if [ -s $prefix/grubenv ];
