With a btrfs install, I started getting the grub screen with the error message:
'sparse file not allowed. press any key to continue' I tried the temporary "fix" by Colin on comment #10 which temporarily fixed the problem. After a few successfull boots without any error messages, I then began to get a different error message: 'recordfail... press any key to continue' I then tried what's suggested in bug 669481 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/669481 Unfortunately the problem was still there. For now, everything is working ok. What I've done is follow the advice on comment #10 from this bug, but I've also removed the #s from /etc/grub.d/00_header where it says: function recordfail { set recordfail=1 if [ -n "\${have_grubenv}" ]; then if [ -z "\${boot_once}" ]; then save_env recordfail; fi; fi } Everything is working fine now. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/736743 Title: environment block not implemented on btrfs To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/grub/+bug/736743/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
