Public bug reported: Binary package hint: grub2
I start my efi-gpt mac mini system using refit.sf.net. I wanted to boot an extern usb-stick using grub2 on there. I had done: grub-install --recheck --no-floppy --root-directory=/mnt /dev/sdb1 This disk showed up in refit, but it ever failed to boot from there, falling back to my /dev/sda3 ubuntu grub2 without notice. I had a look in /dev/sda3 ubuntu grub2. It showed all (hd0,x) partitions and one entry was: "grub> ls" (fd0) without any (fd0,1). Trying to "set root=(fd0)" in /mnt/boot/grub/grub.cfg did not succeed. Perhaps I'll try later setting a device.map and without --no-floppy: grub-install --root-directory=/mnt --recheck /dev/sdb1 Browsing through the source http://refit.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/refit/ I got the impression there is work underway to utilize some apple firmware bits to get around this well known bug of not getting a second harddisk to boot through refit.... ** Affects: grub2 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- mac mini shows usb disk only as fd0 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/550884 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
