While installation security updates to my lucid system, this made my system unbootable last week. I spent half an hour today to make it bootable again.
I booted from supergrubdisk which also failed to detect LVM (it usually did). I ended up using Knoppix and noticed the leftover snapshot (created via schroot) on boot, deleting it. I then tried to chroot into my Lucid system which failed because Knoppix is i386 and my Lucid install is amd64. Rebooting with the Lucid installation medium, I was surprised that the grub installation on my hard drive magically started to work again and booted fine into my Lucid install. I would deem this a really important problem and I am all for fixing it in Lucid given that a patch exists. BTW: The snapshot name created by schroot is quite long, as it contains a UUID. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/563895 Title: grub2 fails to boot or install when an LVM snapshot exists To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/563895/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
