Public bug reported: Binary package hint: grub
I am running grub 0.97-29ubuntu21 on Hardy My root device is /dev/loop1, and I am setting this in the kopt= line in menu.lst but update-grub tries to resolve this to a UUID, which means I can't boot This patch will disable converting /dev/loop entries to UUID entries, and causes it to work for me again: --- update-grub.orig 2008-06-18 11:10:34.000000000 -0500 +++ update-grub 2008-06-18 11:11:04.000000000 -0500 @@ -778,6 +778,8 @@ ;; /dev/md[0-9]*) ;; + /dev/loop[0-9]*) + ;; /dev/*) convert=: ;; ** Affects: grub (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- update-grub breaks root on loop https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/241014 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
