Public bug reported: Binary package hint: grub-common
Description: Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS Release: 10.04 grub-common 1.98-1ubuntu7 update-grub creates a grub.cfg file that does not "insmod" partition- handling modules. As a result, I cannot boot from partitions on disks with "msdos" partitioning. The fix is straightforward. In /usr/lib/grub/grub-mkconfig_lib edit the prepare_grub_to_access_device function to add this "partmap" section: # Abstraction modules aren't auto-loaded. abstraction="`${grub_probe} --device ${device} --target=abstraction`" for module in ${abstraction} ; do echo "insmod ${module}" done partmap="`${grub_probe} --device ${device} --target=partmap`" for module in ${partmap} ; do echo "insmod ${module}" done fs="`${grub_probe} --device ${device} --target=fs`" for module in ${fs} ; do echo "insmod ${module}" done ** Affects: grub2 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- update-grub omits partition modules https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/626140 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
